The t4i doesn't have wifi, but it does have an IR sensor on the front. If your phone has an IR sensor like the Galaxy S4, you can download an app that will send the signal to the camera. If you don't, you can always buy an IR remote like this one for about $20.

You can use the remote controller: http://www.amazon.com/Canon-RC-6-Wireless-Controller-Digital/dp/B0037NX6JY

You engage the remote control mode, and push once to start the bulb exposure, and push again to stop it. No contact required, and you get the remote functionality too.

Yup, I use this for my stop motion stuff. Saves tons of time, and the camera angle doesn't shake.

It's very basic but I've used the Canon Remote Control RC-06 and that works for my light painting. Don't know if it'd be any different for astronomy particularly. Here's the amazon link

You should check if it has a time delay feature. If so you can set it, tell it to take say 10 pictures and then see the results. On my Nikon, I usually use time+8 sec to review. This is IMO, the best way to do shots, as it introduces minimal wiggle into it, even compared to a timer, and makes better use of time. (Ie, you can set it at 30 sec, if you don't want to see the image, though I find that the 38 sec, so you can see if something isn't going right is good.)

An IR shutter release is also very good. I actually have one on my phone (LG V20, they were popular on Android phones for a while, when I got this one, it was one of few that had it)

Here's one example, not sure if it'll work with your camera: https://smile.amazon.com/Canon-RC-6-Wireless-Controller-Digital/dp/B0037NX6JY

(Heh, for once the Nikon version ($6) isn't more expensive than something for a Canon!)

I have a wired release, but I think the IR if your camera supports it, is better, because then you don't have the cable at all transmitting vibrations.

I actually took a similar shot, testing out a tracking motor on my 127EQ last night, while one of my main rigs was automatically running through my target list. (Ekos and Kstars + OnStep is a wonderful combination. Aside from an inadvertent design issue, a cable got caught on the focuser, which pulled it loose, I only touched it to change filters, and focus it.) It looked very similar to yours, aside from some streaking due to apparently being wrong on timing, but such is life, and that can be fixed.
