Well done everyone, particularly James for doing something I should have much earlier.
I better make an apology first of all, OK they are stars, weird profile, but stars. I suppose I'm used to oversampled pictures.
The plate solve solves one problem, but opens up another couple for me. Why didn't the other stars trail? Brightness difference?
Why did Chris think he was taking pictures of NGC253, when the camera was pointing at beta-octans? The two objects are widely separated.
Problem (almost) solved, I feel sorry for Chris, but satisfied that we've collectively gotten to the bottom of this.
Cheers
Stuart
