What could cause this

Hi All,

Last night was reasonably clear and cold and i was lucky enough to image 5 different objects with some success.

I used the Canon 300mm F/2.8 Lens, attached to the 5D, and fired away, however after downloading the images I thought what have i here, never really seen this before, so maybe some kind person could assist, and suggest what I, or the camera and lens combo did wrong.

This only happed on the first object photographed, which was the star Acrux and the surrounding star field.

This also appeared on the other objects imaged, but not quite as bad as this first one.

This is what i did..

300mm lens and 5D mounted on G11 and tracked for 1 minute exposure at 400 ISO, drop in Hutech 52 mm filter used in the rear of the lens.

10 exposures aligned and combined in Image Plus, this is a full size image and no cropping has been done.

So what has happened here.

Thanks Leon
