APOD: July 11th, 2010

Congratulations to Peter Ward for making today's APOD with a strangely hypnotising startrails image!

Thanks guys...I guess Rob and Jerry at NASA must really like it, as the very same image was an APOD some time ago....

At the time it was quite unique, but has been emulated now quite a few times. I suspect it could be done significantly better these days due improvements in DSLR's.
