I would not switch it off, can you got to say 1 sec instead off 30 sec? Then you will have less interruption of the trails. So instead of 13 times 30 sec, you take 390 times 1 sec. Well, actually, as you take a lot of pictures, changes are that random noise of one picture is canceling out the noise of another. That doesn't work well with just two pictures, but with a lot it might work very well. Just some ideas, trial and error makes the master.
