<>Today I picked up the remote control for my new camera… it’s a tiny little IR device with naught but a single button. But it allows me to operate the shutter release without actually touching the camera… great for long exposure shots, such as the one below. About 15 minutes worth of the northern sky. It’s a kinda-cloudy, moon lit night, so the background ain’t as black as I’d like, but it gets the idea across.

Whats the bright “star” near the center? Polaris shouldn’t be that bright, even while pretty much motionless.
I think it is Polaris. It’s not that Polaris is that bright, it’s that Polaris, being motionless, just sits there and “burns in” while the other stars spread their light around the sensor.
