I have to say, the photo of this that's currently doing the rounds doesn't do you any justice, people need to be shown this first! Nice!

@GetawayFilms

I think both are cool in their own way.

This version shows individual firefly streaks (20 sec or less), and you can see the rotation of the starts along the NCP (North Celestial Pole, near Polaris).

The other version is more....visual?

The cumulative stacking then timelapse gives a different effect/feeling, I tried both and shared.

@Nullstr1ng

Song in background is "Shooting Star" by Bad Company.
