That is some neat stuff. HOw long of an exposure do you need to have to get shots like that?

I've read up on shooting star trails, most of what I've been reading says they're somewhere in the neighborhood of anywhere from 15minute to 30 minute exposures if memory serves me and they'll stack a whole bunch of them to get the full sky effect....incredible work though and unbelievable colors!

Though I most certainly do not call it fake by any means, I am curious as to how there are two centers of rotation in this one...anyone know?
