Here's a little controversy that popped up on the DP Review Pentax forum a few weeks back regarding the Pentax Photo Gallery. Two photos from the same photographer: http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/home#section=ARTIST&subSection=2245441&subSubSection=3826178&language=EN EXIF says the exposure time was 31 min and 29 sec and it certainly looks that way from the star trails. http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/home#section=ARTIST&subSection=2245441&subSubSection=3190723&language=EN EXIF indicates an exposure time of 16 min and 38 sec, half the time of the first shot but the star trails aren't half as long, they're non-existent! Also, there's no dimming or diffusion of the stars close to the horizon from passing through more atmosphere and low-level airborne dust like the first photo: The stars are clear and bright all the way down to the horizon. Almost as if the sky was pasted in from another photo...
