I think I see that now. I didn't understand what I was looking at. There is no 'after the fact' manipulation. It's just use of lenses which creates the effect. Either way, it creates an effect which is surreal.
Quoting: Menow 41235377 Hi Menow the photo in question isn't even affected by optical distortion. It's just the view you have close to the equator. If you stand at the equator and look north, you see the star trails as half circles getting bigger the farther from the celestial north pole. If you look south, you also see the star trails as half circles getting bigger the farther from the celestial south pole. If you now look east or west, the stars at the ecliptic make a straight line, but the stars north and south of the eclitic still make circles to the right and left - it's not the optic. May be this website makes it more understandable: [ link to sguisard.astrosurf.com] . Oh... I get it now. It's that the view includes both sides of the halfway point in the sky, so that the circles begin to oppose each other as the view crosses the central area. Excellent! I have learned yet another bit of interesting stuff via debunking Nancy!
