think that it depends on the lens, after all the stars are just balls of light.
Yes exactly but if I scanned that image on your scanner the asterism would show, but the dust spots wouldn't have that
I am going to bring up an old one here, just because I know you like it

and because I was told to "stay on topic"

Unfortunately I will have to go back to Mars for a moment... but I promise, its extremely relevant to the thread...
It seems that the Giant excavator in the above image... {oh yeah? prove me wrong then} has been moved to MARS....
This was presented by Mike Singh in one of the many Martian threads... the relevant info is found here
Tracks on Mars by Mike Singh
Two things I want to point out... the "ramp that Mike circled, and the other "structures around his question mark...
And to the "Its a rolling rock..." crowd..
Please be so kind as to explain to me where the "rock" is that created the big straight track in the center. The track starts on the left... and
ends right at that "ramp" Either way it moved, there is no rocks present that could have made the track.
So.... comments?
And thanks to Mike for finding this one

Oh and one last thing... the center of the image where the curved track is is the bottom of the gully, so the left and right portion of the track are
both uphill... so no matter which direction it moved in, it would be going uphill...
And before we discuss momentum... be aware that the gully is filled with loose sand, yet the track is evenly spaced throughout its length..
NASA makes no comment on these tracks so far... and letters as yet have not yielded a response... but they did crop this from the 261 meg full image
and displayed it with the tracks dead center...
