He must have used an equatorial mount. If the shot was a minute long the stars would streak. I know, I’ve photographed the milky way myself in the desert.

About 30 years ago, I remember trying to get streaking star pictures. I remember a 15 minute exposure would result in a tiny streak. I imagine 1 minute would hardly result in any streak at all.
