I was continuously taking pictures, less than half a second between shots, only showed up in one frame. EDIT: if you want the original file,I would gladly email it to you

EDIT: if you want the original file,I would gladly email it to you Thanks. to my untrained eye it looks like a little asterism. If you have a good star chart & remember what direction your camera was pointing you may be able to identify. Nice shot. (edit) Only in one frame huh? That's bizarre. Have you tried animating the two frames as a .gif just for fun? If it's only in one frame, I have no idea. Cool, either way.
