If I had to guess I would say that he was doing a lot of work in the compositing. The night sky exposure was probably mostly from a shot where the light was shining completely the opposite direction so is not to overexpose the sky. That is just a guess though. It is from Mastodon so theoretically you can post a follow-up question to him.
