Nope, it's a single exposure. Nikon D700, 17-35 f/2.8 lens. Exposure was 8 minutes at f/2.8 and ISO 800.

I took one more shot at 20 minutes and ISO 200 - the star trails are longer, but the northern lights are much less defined. I only got only these two exposures that night - it was too dangerous to stay out longer (there was high grizzly activity there that day).
im curious why you would take it at 2.8, dont you want to open the lens for such a shot? also what was the focal point?

2.8 is the max on that lens,  as open as it goes.

Focus was at infinity.

that's why he did 2.8. the bigger the aperture no. [3. 4. 5.] the smaller the lens opening

Yup! From the house I was staying in, I looked out the window and saw just that. So I held steady and shot :)
