I made an account just to add to this thread, so I hope it helps!
I have a Sony a5000 and I use the playmemories mobile remote app. I recently updated the app on my camera and it supports BULB mode.
When I just used it after reading this thread about LENR being a problem for taking star trails, I tried it and the app notified me that LENR is switched off in BULB mode when using the app as a remote. I just managed to get star trails on around a 5 minute exposure and t was instantly available and came out well apart from the annoying haze tonight.
Anyhow, it is possible and I hope this is useful info for some of you!
Don't buy the Sony A5000/5100 for astrophotography

I am not sure if you are asking me (sorry I'm very new to all this!), but I haven't investigated much as I don't really have any experience of other equipment. I am shooting in the city so light pollution is a pretty major issue for me anyway, however I know that my a5000 picks up stars that I can't see.
I would be interested to know more about the 'star eater' problem and how to check, along with any solutions anyone has to overcome it.
Sorry I can't be of more help!
