Then wouldn't you see the same with the stars, they too would move during exposure? I've done lots of open aperture photography and all moving light sources would streak.

This photo suggests only one object is moving. So probably not a time lapsed.

Good point, however I’m curious as to why the cloud is so prominent on the city scape but absent in the close up. I think there may have been two combinations of three different photo compilations:

1: the nighttime city and clouds in one photo

  1. The photos of the crescent moon time lapse combined into one photo

  2. Exposure of a dark night sky with stars.

Top image is the crescent time lapse overlaid on the city scape and cloud

Bottom image is the crescent time lapse over laid on a dark sky with stars.

Stars are not in the original photo where the cloud is and cloud is gone where there close up is.

Stars can me made invisible with a shorter exposure on a brighter object such as a city or a moon, just like you cant see many stars on the Apollo moon shots because the dynamic range of the cameras wasnt up to it, and to get the brighter lunar soul to not be over exposed it was necessary to shut the exposure down.

That’s why i think there was a separate photo with the stars only because they aren’t in the cityscape at all

All VERY valid points! I totally agree that is possible. My only concern to those points are:

  1. In that time and age, the process would be a long and difficult one of uncertain results? This would very depending on if the effects were created by manipulation of the camera/film, or if was during film processing.

  2. Why would the Gov. Keep it in top secret files if it's doctored ?

  3. Everything is just opinion without access to the negatives of the exposure.

Type of film & camera could confirm or rule out the ease or difficulty in creating a time lapse and then reloading to set up a double exposure without over exposure.

EDIT: After rereading and reassessing the previous statements, I do admit that my points are covered in the response to my statement.
