Five hours and I don’t see any airplanes or satellites going across. Really nice!

There are no airplanes in this location, and satellites stay in Earth's shadow for most of the night except for maybe 15-20 minutes after twilight and before dawn.

Excellent. That makes sense. We have beautiful clear skies in the desert southwest of the United States, but there are definitely planes all night long.

North is that way.

This is the southern hemisphere.

South is that way.

Forgot to mention the photoshop motion blur to create 360 degree star trails

Fade in an out 20% of the first and last subs lighten stacked using imagemagick.

Imagemagick, like photoshop has multiple blur techniques.
1
no blur, you can see the gaps between exposures

Looks just like motion blur. Perhaps achieved with a different method in photoshop
1
No, I faded in and out 20% of the first and last subs and then lighten stacked them using imagemagick.

Wait, so you guys do have a South Star, as it were? Sure looks like it to me.

There are no bright stars near the south celestial pole. The magnitude 5 Sigma Octanis is the nearest naked eye star.
