I admire your commitment and skill to achieve this excellent photo. Superbly done.
Alan.
PS. Are each of the 2016 shots properly exposed or do you have to sort out their exposures by sandwiching each together to gain the correct exposure?

Each exposure is accurate to get the star detail and some foreground detail and then they are composited together
Quote: Outstanding dedication to the task. I always thought it was left on bulb, never realised this method and it certainly is fist class. Are the straight lines, shooting stars?
Great work

Most of the straight lines with red/white dots are airplane trails, the other trails are mainly iridium flares. Taking the image as one long exposure is a problem in the UK because of light pollution, using the stacking method helps counter the pollution effect.
Wow is a little cheap compared to the amount of work and effort youve put into this, but the more I look - I just keep coming up with WOW!

Totally awesome....and hats off to the amount of work put into this.
