I used WBPP to stack 90 one minute exposures of M65 - I included 15 darks, Flats, Dark Flats, and bias cal frames but some noise still snuck thru (circled in pic) - is this due to insufficient dark/bias frames?

The circled item looks like an asteroid trail to me. Possibly 173 Ino. Try the Annotate Image script

I’ll be dipped in “****” - you are absolutely correct - it said INO 173 - Thanks

I did some imaging in that area and 2138 Swissair was in my image. Seems to be a lot of stuff floating around there, which is not surprising given its proximity to the ecliptic.

There’s actually a dim second object (hard to see in the png file) near the left mid to upper edge but the annotate function didn’t identify it

It could be a faint galaxy. Or another faint asteroid.

 

Do you have the PGC catalog selected in AnnotateImage?

The default Asteroids catalog only contains 343 asteroids. I downloaded the asteroid ephemeris files from the PixInsight software download site, then created a Custom XEPH layer in the tool.

No - first time I’ve used the annotate function - I’ll give it a try/ thanks
