It's the best I've been able to do with this dataset. It isn't the best I've seen by a long shot, but it is better than I expected considering the transparency of the sky there last weekend:

Awesome, how do you account for the rotation of the earth with such long exposure time.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
