Two things - first the sky was tracked with a benro Polaris, that's why I don't have star trails.
Second - this is one of the darkest places on earth. No light pollution for hundreds of miles. I'm also at an altitude of around 4000 meters so there's little atmosphere to shoot through, and the atmosphere is bone dry. This is why some of the world's largest observatories are in this region.
