Notice the four tiny stars below Vega and the clear pattern of stars above and to the left of it.
Now look at the photo that is being questioned;

Same four dots below, same pattern of stars above and to the left, so not just same pattern but same orientation of pattern. And a lot more other visible stars as there is less light pollution and probably a much longer exposure.
That took me a lot less time than you have spent crafting comments complaining about lack of actual evidence.
- leereeves 7y agoSomeone else pointed it out already, but thank you as well. But I'm not going to apologize for expecting more evidence in a blog post accusing someone of fraud.
- inflatableDodo 7y agoYou could go check yourself before going and doing essentially the same.
- leereeves 7y agoI accused no one of anything. Can you not tell the difference between "add more evidence" and "that's a lie"?
