The XT2 had a great intervalometer and you could have exposures in steps up to 15 minutes.

Also you probably can have the camera transfer the image to your smartphone or laptop via bluetooth. So you could use that for focusing along with magnified view. Is that enough control?

See under connectivity in this link:

I am not 100% sure of the XT30 but the XT series seem to have some star eater type filtering going on. The X100 does not but that's Bayer filter camera. I can find the thread about this where an owner of an XT4 and a X100 did some testing.

The 26mp sensor though is almost for sure the same sensor plus the Xtrans colour array that is used in the ZWO ASI2600MC cameras that owners are so happy with.

The X100 though seems a good camera for nightscapes, see this:

I think an X100 is pretty cheap.
