You can see the originating from the brightest stars. The others all originate from brights stars out of frame.

You're right there Gavin, they do appear to be originating from the brighter stars but they are not consistent. They vary in intensity along the trail and some stars which appear to be of similar magnitude don't have trails of equal intensity. It is probably an optical aberration caused by a cheap 50mm lens and the camera has either moved at the start or end of the exposure. Mind you, I did use the inbuilt 2 second shutter delay to minimize any movement, knowing this could be a problem.
At least it's created some discussion and a few of you scratching your heads. I don't want to scratch mine too hard as I may lose precious hair follicles I'm trying to retain!
