Exposure time is 30 secs. At about 45mm focal length there are definitely trails. The stars are in the raw file, I just made each of them brighter with a brush.

Edit: no noise reduction applied

Interesting, thanks for the explanation. Probably the brush was a bit of an overkill, because I said that they look fake, not that they are fake. And again, I love the photo otherwise.

I know a thing or two about photo editing myself. The most important thing being that it's highly subjective, and the lines between "right" and "wrong" are very often very blurred.

Apologies for jumping on the calling you out bandwagon, but you definitely edited the stars to an unnatural star or straight up added them. I love the composition and landscape though. Would love to see a version without whatever is going on with the stars though.
