Outer Banks: Night Motion Timelapse. A hauntingly beautiful time-lapse video of the night sky over Cape Hatteras, North Carolina by Daniel Dragon Films.

The camera is mounted on an equatorial mount like a telescope. It always follows the point in the sky, the galaxy, and every exposure increases the light collected. That is why things seem to move in the foreground but not the star field. Beautiful work though!

"I wonder how he enhanced the video so you could see the stars that brightly? They look good on the Outer Banks, but not THAT good."
Time lapses take photos for seconds at a time, not the split seconds we see with our eyes. That's a hell of a lot more light going into the camera.
