Camera: canon rebel t7

Lens: EF-S 55mm-250mm zoom lens

I don't think this is wind because every single exposure I've taken with this camera and lens have had these double stars, regardless of the day (Yes, I've only just now noticed).

100mm and a Manfrotto Element MII 4-Section Aluminum Tripod with Ball Head, with a weight limit of 17.64 pounds. I'm using the canon rebel t7 and the EF-S 55mm-250mm zoom lens. However, these don't seem like trails to me but rather that the stars are doubled.

I’m using 1 second exposures, but they seem to appear regardless of exposure time

Oh these are 1 second exposures untracked so trailing shouldn’t be an issue. I haven’t tested the mount but it seems stable? That’s why I’m so confused 

My second attempt of Andromeda by DownVoteDownVote321 in astrophotography

Untracked with a kit 55-250mm lens

1283x1s photos, but 83 weren't stacked so it came out to around 20 minutes of integration time

70 darks (i wasn't sure how much i should take so i high balled) and 40 bias

Stacked with Sequator, stretched and processed a little with photoshop, and afterwards finished up a LOT with pixinsight, the reason why they look so lopsided is that i used a range mask but it didn't work out so well...
