Out of 12 good subs, this last one turned out oddly. At first I thought it may be a computer display glitch, but when I examine the actual sub, it looks like this; there are two of every star. Anyone know what is causing this?
Is This a Tracking Error?
Probably jumped guide stars. Definitely a track between the ghosted stars, ever so slight.

Hi Brian,
I'm not using a guide scope or guide camera, the 10MicronGM1000 can track without guiding. But I suppose it could be some kind of guiding problem. It looks like the camera took two images of the same field but obviously out of registration. It's a 3 minute luminance sub (-10c) taken with the ASI2600mm, the EFW 7x2 filter wheel.

Possible wind gust bumping the scope is the only thing I can think of given you are not guiding.
