Scan your film at your nearest lab @ High Res, preferably Fuji Frontera (and no I don't work for them, but they leave Kodak in the dark ages) and there you have it, perfect star trails as a digital file with no dramas about failing batteries, computer issues etc.

Try film again, it's fun.

Cheers
Just thrown 11 SLR bodies away, kept the lenses tho.
