Not timelapse - they're long exposure.

This is timelapse:

Please tell the Daily Mail they are idiots.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

From the description, it does sound like it's actually time lapse:
IE, the camera has taken a photo every 10secs then, rather than put them into a video, he's layered them up to create one image with swirls of stars.

It's called image stacking

Time lapse a video technique where the captured frames (by camera or video camera) are captured at a rate lower than the playback rate, this causes a lapse in time between each frame.

So both the Daily Mail and DH are wrong.
Although I can see why the Daily Mail might call it Time Lapse, because it's more likely that a Daily Mail reader could understand it.

No, only the mail, the technique is image stacking, the photos are long exposure and now you're really arguing semantics.

Either way, some very nice images.
