This image is a composite of 200 photos taken with 30 second exposure each. The camera was mounted on a tripod pointing towards the pole star. It shows the movement of Earth around its axis as time goes by. It also shows the light pollution caused by many airplanes and satellites that can be seen crisscrossed over the startrails.
