This is really cool. I have a friend who wants to try to take pictures of star trails, I had no idea what he was talking about. Lol I love your photo.

You used the "brighten" blending mode? lol I thought you went in and masked/erased all 472 images together XD Awesome job!

Hahaha no, masking/erasing 472 images is far too much work. So yes I used the brighten blending mode.
thx

Maybe 10 minutes of waiting for my computer to do the work - I use an automated photoshop action.

This is good!
I've always wanted to do something like this but never knew how. I always thought that you point your camera to the sky and leave your camera lence open for some time.

You can do that too, it's just another technique. This way you get less noise
