In neither the first nor second picture do the reflections of the star tracks look correct. In the second picture, there are no reflected star tracks (should be on the left side), I do not understand the horizontal band of light middle right, and in the first picture the reflected star tracks seem "off set". Me thinks the sky's have been photoshopped into the images. Just my .02


Actually the third one is wrong, too: the arcs and angles on the left side are very different. The band of bright light in the TLI shot actually makes sense: headlights and camps to the west. The star tracks in the first shot are also way too dense: like a double or triple exposure, and none of the time-lapse skies match with the snapshot foregrounds.

All in all, some ok visual puzzles but otherwise: meh.
