Sorry about the small sized photo. I got very little space left to upload. When there's no more space left, I'd be gone.
Here's the Basket of Bokeh.

Paperclip!
I'd use a thinnest paperclip to make a hook to lift the battery from its bottom. Thread it down, turn to grab the bottom, lift.
The action won't puncture the battery to cause fire.

The shutter release for the K-1 works via the 3-contact 2.5mm plug (focus, trigger). Accessories? PENTAX K-1 | RICOH IMAGING
I think all trigger units that are sold in the market, with the right plug, can work with the camera.
However, imo, a photo of a random streak of light in the sky is only 20% of the thrill. It's a muted thrill like a roller coaster ride that's not screaming. It is the thunder that completes the thrill. And better yet, counting the seconds between the lighting and the thunder tells how far away the lighting is (number of seconds X speed of sound). A still photo lacks all that data.
I'd use video mode to capture lightning and thunder then I can grab any still frame I want from the video.

That was some months ago. I think it was either the Canon 58mm or the Minolta 58mm, at f1.2. Sky lights changed all the time, I walked by there everyday, could not reproduce the same shot.
Here are today's timed lapse solar eclipse shots with the Konica 57mm.:D

Another good thing about Minolta/Sony A-mount camera is the legacy M42 lens can be used with a $10 adapter. The camera is set to manual focus, but the adapter provides the focus confirm signal. The adapter is specifically good for prime M42.
Search for "m42 ma adapter" on eBay.
