How to do Star Trail Photography with a Nikon D5200?

Is it possible to do that with a Nikon D5200 camera? (and get nice pictures)

I don't want sites given to me on how to do it or the Nikon 5200 website with info on the camera.

I just want to know if the exposure can be set long enough on it to be able it do it and I know there isn't a Bulb mode on this particular camera.

"You'll need a camera that can take very long exposure photos. An SLR or digital SLR with Bulb Mode is perfect".

Since it doesn't have a "Bulb Mode" on it which other settings would be a good substitute?

I know it needs the lowest ISO setting and wide aperture.

So for the love of god please do not comment if its not helpful just so you get your dumb points for answering questions.

What type if lenses will work on my Nikon D5100?

I recently bought AF-S DX Nikkor ED 55-200mm 1:4-5.6g but it won't autofocus. The manual works fine though. The lens my camera came with is the 18-55mm VR. Does the VR & ED have something to do with it?

My Nikon D1300 doesn't focus?

Hey!
I recently got the Nikon D1300 camera.
One day when I put the camera on and tried to take a picture, when I tried to focus, a red dot just shows up and it doesn't focus at all?
I can still take pictures and shoot videos, but I can't focus…
I have read through the manual many times, and I'm sorry if the answer is ovbious… I just need to know if it's broken and ask if someone knows how to fix it.

Really thankful for all answers, I'm going on a trip soon and I'd like to take some pictures there:)

I have a Nikon d3200. Looking at getting a new lens, and this is one of the ones I'm looking at. Can you list pros and cons to this lens. (I have used a 18-200mm lens so I know about weight) thanks!

Photography as a career?

I'm 14 and ever since I've been 12 I've been really interested in photography. I started off with a digital camera, then a bridge then I saved all my money and bought a Nikon D3200 which came with a kit lens and I honestly don't think my photos are too bad haha. I want photography to be my career and I hope to get university and everything. But the only thing is I really don't understand things like ISO, exposure, what different shutter speeds do and all of that. So is it pointless in me wanting to be a photographer if I don't understand anything on a DSLR? All I know how to do is point and shoot…
Also is a NIkon D3200 a bad camera to have whilst doing my GCSE's/A Levels? Like is it high tech enough?

Any advice would be very helpful! So thanks a lot:)
