Sony A5000 startrail

So Sony has an app for making startrails, but also a general purpose timelapse app, both of which are paid for add-ons.

 

I don't think the general purpose is geared towards making startrail stills as it's limited to having a time interval as long as the shutter is open, leaving gaps between each shot.

 

Instead I made a timelapse movie of the stars using the general app, pulled the frames from the movie into jpgs using 'free video to jpg converter' and ran them through star trails.exe, with the gap filler option.

 

Bit of a workaround, and the end product is only 1980*1080. Looks ok all the same.
