It was focus stacked on the left and then panned to the right, assembled in Photoshop. What I do much more frequently than something this complex is a simple "dual focus", where a close object is a significant part of the composition. It gets the first shot, then I move to the infinity stop (manual M optics) without removing my eye from the camera, using the camera viewfinder's markings and level, if present, to help keep things aligned.
