>what is a good way to do this if you don't have a tripod or remote for a camera? Buy a tripod, buy a remote for your camera.
Okay, less flippant answer: Seriously, buy a tripod. You can get a cheap crappy one for $20. It'll be cheap and crappy, but it'll be oodles better than nothing. Unless you're using some monster camera, the $20 tripod will be just as good as the $500 tripod for taking a long exposure on a calm night.
You don't actually need a remote trigger. Most cameras I've used have the option of a 2 sec self timer, which is designed for exactly this purpose. If you've got an SLR and it has mirror lockup, turn that on before starting the 2 second countdown.
