That worked great! Cool photo!

I’ve tried this with a dslr and ended up getting light streaks, so appreciate the wizardry involved in that mode

    If I remember correctly it avoids the streaks by taking several long-exposure photos and then combining them.

    That would still create streaks, the software needs to also rotate the pictures a specific amount to keep that from happening. My guess is that it’s using the GPS location to some extent in concert with the long exposures.

    I took the photo late in the evening, about 11:40pm local time.
    I assume I didn't catch any satellites because the sun was too far below the horizon to illuminate any of the near earth ones (starlink) and I was 30 miles from the nearest town in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan I didn't catch any city lights or low flying aircraft.
