Mike, I don't understand. If I read what you said below correctly you said
you imaged the area a third time and the object is still there yet you came
to the conclusion it doesn't exist. ?? Don't give up, maybe you are actually
imaging something no one else has noticed before.

Have you imaged the same area with a different telescope/camera?
Have you extended your dew shield twice its length to eliminate any stray
light?
What about wrapping the camera and adapters with dark cloth to stop any
light seepage?

Don't give up...joe :)

Hello. After imaging the area for the third time last night and
recording the same thing and having no reason I can find to beleive
this does not exist, I have come to the conclusion that it does not
exist. I don't know why this is always there as I have done
everything I know to eliminate possible causes. Thanks for your
help to find images and links for information.
Mike
