Strange Object in my Image

Hi Guys, I was out last imaging, and although the night was clear and crisp I some how missed my target and did 4 hours on a star field instead of the target that I had planned to image.

However that is an other story, but I do have a strange object in this star field, the stars are round but this thing is a moving object of sorts and was wondering if some one could shed some light on it.

I was imaging the Rho Complex, but missed the target

The exposure is a combination of 16 frames at 7 minutes each, a total of 112 minutes, Taken on June 24th from 9.10 pm to 25th June concluding at 1.35 am

One frame was ejected because of poor seeing and that is the break we can see in line of the final image.

Please see below the original widefield, and then two cropped images out of the widefield
