Hello, I'm new- Can anyone give me some advice? Thanks!

Hi,
I currently use Sony SLT-A77V with 16-50mm kit lens, and Sony f4.5-5.6 75-300mm DT.
I generally do wildlife, macro and equestrian photography, but have recently been lured into the world of astrophotography.
I would like to do star trailing, but I need a shutter cable release, and have no idea what to look for!
Can anybody help? Preferably under £20 if possible, with locking function, compatible with a77.
Thanks

I just recently purchased two remote releases. I got mine on Amazon (.ca being in Canada), one a plain release for $7 ( I see it on .co.uk for £2.26 ) and one that has a timer built in for $17 (much like this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Remote-Shutt...2785853&sr=8-5 )

Is the
Hahnel HRS 280

any good?
Thanks

Hi donoreo,
I saw the second one, but was not sure if it is compatible with the sony a77.
Anyone know?

[donoreo]

I cannot confirm, but a quick google finds others that show they are compatible with the same cameras but I would do more research myself to see. I am a Canon user so I do not know.

Thanks, I checked the Hahnel website and it is indeed compattible.
