Wow. that was interesting. Did anyone realised that some of the backgrd stars didn't even moved. And i'm kind of interested in the random thing that looks like lightning. Can anyone tell me what that is?

Yah, really nice video..

The 'stars' that didn't move are probably hot pixels on the camera, while I think that those random arcs are caused by insects flying in front of the camera. As you see from the trees in the foreground, there seems to be a light that will illuminate insects as they fly nearby.

Rgds,
