It's the fact, that the camera is moving orthogonal to its viewing
direction. Therefore  the background is rather static. A 'real' camera,
which would be mounted on an other ship, for instance, should change its
viewing direction towards its movement (means change the pitch and yaw).
Then the stars in the background would move across the image. Add a little
motion blur, and you're fine... ;)
