K. But as far as I can tell, spinning stars can only happen near the poles of a globe, or other elaborate earth models. Where these photos are claimed to have been taken near the equator.
You would have to be near the equator for this kind of shot. Taken at Fort Jefferson 70 miles off the coast of key west. Key west is at the end of the line the furthest south west of Florida you can get (near Cuba). The mentioned frames of opposite star rotations would be Pointed towards the equator.. Spinning stars are visible anywhere above or below the equitorial line, and they spin in opposite directions north/south from the Equator. This would seem plausible on a globe earth, except for the fact you can capture rotations of both directions in a single frame. This would only be possible if the stars were actually moving and not the earth.
Try it yourself - even though we all know you won't.
Take your camera outside on a tripod, point it anywhere at the sky and expose for a few minutes. Then, polar align ( figure it out ) your camera and take another exposure the same length, tell me what you get.
You certainly don't need to be a "pro" or even have a "pro" camera, just one that lets you do long exposures.
And your link to the "pro" photographer is just a link to CanonUSA twitter.
That's just photoshop from a lazy youtuber that doesn't own a time lapse camera, the skills to use it, or the time an authority for those shots.

You're theory is?

wrong, as usual.
He just didn't polar align his camera.
