My FOV is less than one quarter square degree yet about once every 45 minutes of imaging, some piece of space junk passes through a frame. It's amazing how much crap is up there. Usually I process using Sigma Reject which rejects stuff that appears in only one frame but if did that with this shot only the asteroid would remain! The stars don't overlap so they'd all be rejected. I used averaging instead which leaves in this stuff but it does reduce it by a factor of 10 in strength. I was in a hurry to process this so didn't take the time to clone it out.
