I haven't done anything like that myself, but not having a remote shutter release is going to be a pretty big problem. On a long exposure, you simply pressing and depressing the button is going to be enough to ruin your exposure. If you want to give it a shot without one, make sure the camera body is rock-solid stable. Maybe clamp it somehow?

And keep in mind that the stars themselves will likely produce some trails, though the ISS should still stand out quite starkly considering how much faster and brighter its path will be.

Tight aperture, isolated from light pollution, clear sky are all tips I'm sure you're aware of. Good luck.

If you can jam the shutter release down somehow, put a black card over the lens while you do it. Then put the black card back over the lens before you fiddle with the camera to close the shutter.

Long time no post for me:








Last one is another try at an older shot of mine.

How did you use a tripod inside the lincoln memorial? Every time I go there, even if my tripod is folded up and strapped to my back someone runs up to me saying "No tripods!"
