Star Trails at 19,000 Feet

On the top of a mountain with the camera pointed at the south celestial pole and a long exposure time, you can see the rotation of the earth. The altitude of the shot is over 19,000 feet which shows why you can see slightly below the south celestial pole. it was an hour long exposure which makes each star moved 15 degrees in the sky.
