About this image

Have meant to look at this for a while.

Unfortunately, I didn't notice until afterwards that the last slew had messed up the focus slightly - or possibly the temp dropped suddenly.

Either way, had expected to have to take more images than this to get a result.

And yes, I know the stars are elongated. The gear/worm meshing was rubbish (for some reason) and it was elliptical stars or lots more image noise, so I opted for elongated stars...
