That's a long exposure, but there really can be that many of them. I was out on a moonless night in upstate New York. An amazing number of stars was visible (I could even see the Milky Way), I was surrounded by fireflies and glowworms, and there were no other sources of light once I turned my flashlight off. It was so dark that I couldn't see my own feet, just lights in all directions.

I have amazing memories as a kid seeing fields that looked like this! I miss it.
