rubbernecking
no linguist here, however I was looking at Merriam-Webster, as curiosity surfaces once in a while, and rubbernecking is listed as a synonym for gazing.
and so I realized that a bit over two months ago, just after 3 AM I was star-rubbernecking and the stars didn't have anything against that ✨
[Pano w/ 18mm: 6x FG @ ISO 25600 | f/2.8 | 30 sec ; 6x Stars @ ISO 8000 | f/2.8 | 20 sec.. star exposures a bit too long, reduced on pics made afterwards w/ same ISO & aperture]
