The trails on the brighter stars in this image are not because of a guiding error. During this particular exposure, the dewpoint caught me off guard and moisture collected on the corrector plate of the camera. Unfortunately, of the three exposures I took, this was the only one where I actually got the whole nebula into the film frame. Bummer.
