1. Being curious, I followed the trail to this image.

Normally, I want to get exposure and lens info so I can (hopefully) make one of my own some day.

So, here is the photographer's page and ways to buy a print.

His home page is here: https://www.miguelclaro.com/wp/

All the info I could get is that the image was taken at an ISO of 3200 and for 40 seconds.
With a wide-angle lens (I estimate 20 mm on full frame?) so that would not leave long star trails, though he may have applied some post-processing to remove motion artifacts.

Reminder to photographers: Don't be afraid to push those ISO numbers. Degradation is not all that bad, and you can check results immediately, unlike the old days of pushing film speeds.
