To answer Lev's question, yes, the camera was rotated for 6 minutes. During that time, it made one entire rotation, which is why there's a single line of stars (except where I switched fingers, which created the individual stars).

I did not move the camera for this particular star shot (I did for other frames but they didn't turn out as well). The tree and foreground are completely blurred out of the image and only appear as very faint smudges, so no, they don't obscure the star trails at all. It's like light painting, where you can't see the person because they're moving.
