i spose guys that take pics of stars are long exposures so the trap gets burnt out.

the guys that take short exposure stuff are mainly only intersted in planets.

I have seen 6 stars in the trap say only on 5 nights.

This is why i am keen as eggs to do some more double star work. Asimovs sirius was a beauty. I would love to capture some more different coloured double stars.

So mr ken, you 5 from a few weeks ago and now 6 are a rarity on film so to speak, hence the excitement!!!!

Oh well, live & learn.

On the original Avi all the stars are a blobby mess dancing their way across the FOV.
They actually look like blurry throbbing Ameoba doing synchronised swimming!
