Night Shots appearing a lot on Flight Radar 24 all of a sudden

[Matthew Rodgers]

Hello. Good day. I do apologize in advance if this is the incorrect topic area. I just have a quick question. Howcome night shots are appearing on Flight Radar 24 all of a sudden. I was told via email that night shots do not appear on the radar (a while ago). Has this changed.

Kind regards and happy clicking!

I was wondering how to get a shot like this to turn out with the aircraft lit up in one part of the photo and a trail of lights behind it. I'm assuming I have to use bulb mode, second-shutter sync on my external flash, manual mode, an f/stop around 8, and ISO 100 or 200, and mounted on a tripod. Are there any other things that I need to take into consideration when taking a shot like this? I will be attempting the shot at Gravelly Point if that helps any.
