I wasn't complaining. I saw the big picture. I was asking how he did it. I envy him, but I'm a dabbler, not a photographer. Also an engineer, so those questions and their scientific explanation interest me: Did he have light that had a spectrum that would scatter enough blue light to make the beam visible over a long exposure? Did he sit still through the whole exposure?
Is that minutiae? Perhaps to an artist, it is. And maybe that's what this website operation is about.

Just offhand, I would say he is equipped with a remote shutter release, and also he’s done this more than a few times and is obviously no rank amateur. He’s got a style, he knows his equipment, and he’s looking for shots of a certain style.
I don’t understand why you guys fail to see the big picture and can only complain about the itty bitty points an minutiae. Is it jealousy or what?

The air seems clear and how much blue will be in a flashlight to scatter in the air unless it's an LED or Hg lamp. And he sat perfectly still while the star trail was being exposed?
