This picture has captured the diurnal motion of northern stars in a full moon night. A weed land in foreground is shone with moonlit skies.
In that season, the Big Dipper was positioned directly below the Polaris. A location I took this picture has 38 degrees in north latitude; we can see such as "the downward pass of Big Dipper" because the stars are circumpolar ones which never set in horizon.
