I'm using you used mirror lockup with a remote shutter release on a tripod and let it sit for a good 30 minutes or longer?
Hi Arvinz, what you are doing sounds good but as you know you are getting star trail. To get just stars, you need faster exposure time. I typically set my aperture at F/2/8 and crank up my ISO to 3200 so my exposure time is fast, it's still around 2-4 secs depending on the ambient light, moon and clouds.

Experiment it and have fun.
