I love trying to take photos of the night sky. It’s definitely one of the most challenging forms of photography for me, both technically (getting the right exposure, focus, stacking if required etc) and creatively (it’s actually quite hard to compose an interesting shot with the night sky in a lot of the time - just pointing straight up doesn’t usually make for that interesting a photo). I also find it quite a relaxing experience as you spend a lot of time looking at the stars and waiting for long exposures :)
Unfortunately I live in central London at the minute where there aren’t that many opportunities to take night sky photos (but I did have fun trying to capture the ISS going over the City of London), I would love to live somewhere with darker skies!
“We really wanted to accurately represent what someone would see from the ground where they were standing, we didn’t want to misrepresent what would be in the sky above you.” -- strange that shots with trailing stars are allowed in this case, you don't see them with a naked eye.
