This is in the Guardian photos of the day collection, and I thought it was cool, so here is the link:

How can a hovering drone take a long enough exposure to get that many sharply focused stars?  Yes, I recognize it is thinner atmosphere and no light pollution problems, but I can't believe those factors can account for this.  
Any thoughts from you night sky photographers??
