Hi Rick, The info on the file says it was taken July 14 between 11:04 and
11:06 pm, I checked this out and the times were within a minute of actual.
So do you find anything with a name or number in that area at the time?

In 30 second frames, it has to be space junk to move the entire field.
It just tumbled in a brighter way at that one spot. A normal belt
asteroid would be starlike at 30" and an NEO would give no more than
seen in the frame you posted. Minor planet checker shows nothing.
Without knowing the exact time of the shot I could be missing something
that fast but if it were that fast and known we'd be hearing about it as
it would have to be an NEO and a very near one.

I get really faint junk like that on virtually every frame. If it
doesn't go across anything but field stars, I burn them out with the
burn tool with a fuzzy edge set very low, 5% and do it several times.
Brighter ones have to be cloned out or left. They appear in about one
in every three frames. A pain to say the least.

One advantage of shooting through all the gunk of late is it dims these
guys to where I don't see nearly as many. It also gets rid of all the
faint stars and fuzzies as well so not a good trade.

Well I just checked the originals and it flies right across the whole
frame.
I'll try and process to show it.

I didn't see my first post so here it is again. Here is my first light

soon. This image was through my C-11 @ f/6. 2 x 30sec @ 1600asa + 2 x
30sec @ 800asa.

Sorry for the repeat post.

You're first try did come through here and I replied, so did another
fellow asking about an asteroid like trail in the "lower left corner"
but I can't see what he's looking at. Only an NEO would trail enough to
easily see in 2 minutes at that scale and I see no trail anyway.

Oddly that thread ended up attached to another thread on M27 as if you
answered your own comment to that person's M27 post, so was weeks out of
sync even though it is supposed to list them in date order. The replies
then went there as well. Weird. If I sorted by thread then resorted by
date all was correctly listed but each time I open the email program it
resorts it back where it don't belong. First time I've seen that bug
and I've used this program without update for many years now. Weird.
This repost went where it belonged.

Anyway here's what I said.

Looks a lot like the visual view without filters in my 10" if you
ignore

the red parts. It will be interesting to see what the difference is
after
modification.
