WOW! Amazing. Thank you for the explainer.
What a dumbass it’s not even in focus.
@salvaria@lemmy.blahaj.zone Yep! Cheers

What the hell IS that?
A long enough exposure to capture the movement of the earth underneath, without being long enough for the perspective on the stars to change.
tl; dr: one helluva exercise in juuuust the right exposure length.
And even right before the sun came into view. Awesome.
