Hmm. I expect "star" is part of artifact. Could be meteor with a bit burning up en route?

I had noted the other stars were relatively static in all 4 frames, so it's not that the photo had the 'star' out of frame to the right.

I thought maybe the track was a meteor that had a bit break off and burn up with a bright flash just at that point. Don't know really.
