Choose a spot as far away from any cities as possible, or at least point the camera away from that area to reduce light pollution.
Avoid shooting star trails during a full moon - the light will overpower the starlight in a matter of minutes.
Long exposure star trails will drain your camera's battery in no time, and the effect is even worse if you are using in-camera noise reduction. If possible, shoot near a power supply so that you can hook up your camera using an extension lead, or alternative take a portable power source (e.g. one that can run off a car battery).
Remember to choose a clear night or you won't actually be able to see any stars!
