 * Comment: The image is interesting, engaging, and makes one click through to see more, but it doesn't really describe the topic of the article it's in ("a type of photograph that uses long exposure times to capture the apparent motion of stars in the night sky due to Earth's rotation"; emphasis added). --Paul_012 (talk) 12:46, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
 * The article has a paragraph on star trail photos captured at ISS. The preceding paragraph (on mechanical vs. digital) is somewhat related too. Bammesk (talk) 00:38, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * That paragraph is taken almost verbatim from the photo description, and seems to only be there to accompany the photo. I wonder if there's discussion elsewhere of star trails taken from places other than the Earth's surface. --Paul_012 (talk) 07:06, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Star trail photos have been taken on the surface of mars.©Geni (talk) 16:10, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
 * And some in 2016 at ISS. Bammesk (talk) 15:09, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
 * About "star trail" photo discussions, there are lots on this astronomer's photos (Don Pettit) on board ISS. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 He seems to be a trailblazer (there aren't that many photographers in space). All sources call these "star trail" photos (or photography). I updated the article. Bammesk (talk) 18:19, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
