Pretty awesome. I'm guessing most of those single-frame white streaks are cosmic ray strikes on the camera sensor.


They say that it is dust floating around, rather than cosmic rays. The specks appear to be moving in a way that "looks normal" (not that I have any idea) for dust moving around rather than what I would imagine random noise from cosmic rays would like like.


The blips/noise could be rays, or could be rotating reflective dust specs that happened to reflect light for just a moment.
