It isn't if one considers the POV camera in a "fixed" position far away and panning slightly as Discovery goes by.

Except that this would create a change of aspect on the foreground element, which doesn't occur. The angle on Discovery remains the same, as if the camera is attached to it and moving with it. Further, the same moving-star effect occurs when the camera is inside the pod bay looking out.
