I used the program startrails.exe to blend 114 JPGs of 24" exposure (@ f/8 ISO 800). So this is 45.6 minutes of trails.
Normally I am a pretty impatient person needing constant diversion... so I never tried this before ... but it was so much fun just walking around among these huge rock formations by the light of the full moon that the time flew by like nothing. While out there I saw several meteors & one actually came through in the image.
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.
125 exposures, 20 seconds each.
I expected the full moon to be a problem, but the light was still good enough. It even took all the warm tones and gave it this look.

This image was taken at Algonquin Provincial Park. It is a stacked image of a sequence of about 130 star images rotating around the north star Polaris. These shots were taken on the Zeiss Distagon T* 21mm f2.8 on the Canon 5D Mark2 and each frame was shot at ISO3200.

3:00 am, camping next to a mountain lake (2200m). A herd of mountain cows are not sleeping and are going in our direction, their cowbells ringing very loud. Ok, if I can't sleep, let's take some pics !
That's good because this is a beautiful night without moon and I can spend one hour to test for the first time to take a startrail shot...

Clear skies and no moonligt. That´s a great setting for photographing the stars and the northern lights. This frame is shot at the Thingvellir national park in Iceland. The surroundings are lit only by starlight. You should be able to spot a shooting star, probably from the Geminid meteor shower. The green light over the horizon are some faint auroras. Startrail photography is one of the few occasions I think about owning a second camera body. This is a one hour exposure and while the camera is working there's really nothing to do but to wait and try to keep warm. I used the fabulous ultra wide Samyang/Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 lens. It is super sharp wide open making it the perfect companion for shooting at night.
Taken last month on a very cold and breezy evening when Tim Barker and myself went to this old windmill building not far from where we live.
132 30sec exposures, blended in startrails.de and then edited in PS. This is the second time i have been to this location for a star trails shoot, though this is a much improved version to my first attempt.
This is a stack of 100 x 30 second exposures, i decided to leave out the photo which exposes the foreground as i love the silhouette of the cross so much.
Camping Les Paules (Osca).
Canon 50D and lens 17-85, 17mm.
112x30", f5.7. ISO 800.
Software: Startrail and DPP Canon.
Moon at 97%.
An impromptu trip to loo at 01:30am and I made the fateful error of looking out of the window to see a wonderfully clear night festooned with a multitude of stars, I went back to bed but couldn't get that sky out of my mind...20 minutes later I'm all alone in the dark in Hathersage churchyard shooting startrails and this was the result.
Feeling a little jaded now but think it was worth the effort, special thanks goes to my bladder and a couple of pints of Farmers Blond as without them this image wouldn't have been possible!! (304 15 second images stacked f4 @ 7mm)
