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.
Also why are you giving photography instructions? Undoubtedly you'd be non polar aligned. I didn't state anything contrary to this, not sure why you want to give a photography 101 spill. If your camera is viewing south of where Orions belt would align you'll get the opposite rotation. Easier to get both rotations in frame closer to the equator.

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

Wrong, the link is to a post from CanonUSA mentioning Skyglow Project.
