I haven't used a cable release in decades.
Even my EOS 1n had a 2 sec / 10 sec self timer. That was my last film camera.
If your camera HAS that feature, use it.
Another fine feature is a mirror lock up. My EOS 1d had this and in combination with the 2 sec self timer, would when you pressed the shutter, first flip the mirror UP and wait the timer setting THAN expose. Great for lightning, fireworks and nighttime in general.
See link for inexpensive STAR TRACKING camera mount. Dimension from hinge to rod is critical as is motor rotation speed vs threaded rod pitch. No weird science and good for long exposures of the dark night sky.
Too much is never enough
