Would you like to change the earth's rotation to a more interesting motion, like a zigzag?

Things either move on very slow timescales, so the rotation of the Earth is much faster (stars, planets, comets) or much slower (meteors). The Moon is an exception but, well, you wouldn't have many pretty star trails if the moon was in the exposure, because it's so bright.
In the past things used to be deferent.

why are all the patterns circular? kind of annoying that in the whole universe none of the stars move more interestingly than that.
It's not the stars that are moving.

Actually, the first photography of objects beyond Earth was done in the US by John Adams Whipple. Steampunk, maybe -- the image of an early camera at the focus of a giant reflector at Harvard College certainly evokes a steampunky mood -- but alas not Victorian.

Similar to this favourite of mine. It's really magical seeing the colours, I think.

Harrison, 37, bought his first camera in October 2010 to photograph some clothes he planned to sell on eBay.
This is fabulous. See, there's hope for us yet, the (maybe not so) ungifted.

Reminds me of this snapper who "took up photography as a relaxing hobby two and a half years ago."

Beautiful pics by the way. Thanks for posting this. I've tracked down 'for sale' versions here.

That made me smile, Kerasia, there must be an X degrees of separation thing going on. The thank-you card I sent to my secret quonsar in 2010 came from Red Bubble.
