How to hang a Christmas star from a high tree branch?
Can anyone suggest a way of hanging a Christmas star from a high tree branch? I estimate it is about 10 metres (30 feet) above the ground. It is the lowest branch in the tree, so there is no way I could climb up. I could pull the star up if I got a rope around the branch. I thought of the following ways of doing that:
(1) Hire a cherry picker. (I have already made inquiries. It's very expensive.)
(2) Helium balloons might work but it would be tricky.
(3) A drone could pull the rope up, and I bought one and have tried it out, but I don't think I can control it precisely enough.
(4) A very long pole might do it.
Can anyone suggest some other way?

I once put a rope swing up for the kids. I used a fishing pole with extra weights on it, no hook. I flung the line over the branch, then tied twine (the kind electricians use to pull wire, it's very strong). Then used that to pull the rope. Make a loop on one end of the rope and feed the other end through that and pull it taught around the limb. In your case (hanging a decoration) you would just use the fishing line, hoist the decoration and secure the line at the bottom of the tree, perhaps a nail.
