Hi Chris,
Good to know that you are here also ;-)
Indeed rendering the movement in a still image is not easy... !
I think that you right, all the more that at first sight there is no gas ejected by this body (contrary e.g. to exoplant Osiris), so I removed these trails. It looks better and more familiar now ;-)
Thanks for the suggestion.

Named CFBDSIR J214947.2-040308.9 the properties of this body are not known yet; it can be a terrestrial-size exoplanet or more probably a dwarf brown star, and seems to move with the triple stellar group at about 28 km/s.

Here is a rendering of this orphan body and ABDMG in front of the Terzan 5 globular cluster.

What's with the little motion lines? Nothing like that would be visible, so I assume you're just trying to give the impression of movement? I think I'd like it better without that- something more real and less cartoonish in that respect.

A few days ago, astronomers from ESO using the CFHT and VLT, discovered a rogue body in the AB Doradus moving stellar group (ABDMG) located 100 l.y. away.
Named CFBDSIR J214947.2-040308.9 the properties of this body are not known yet with accuracy; it can be a jovian-size exoplanet or more probably a very young and small dwarf brown star 50-120 million year old, and seems to move with the group at about 28 km/s.

Here is a rendering of this orphan body and ABDMG in front of the Terzan 5 globular cluster.
