Can somebody help me identify this object?

I'm into deep sky image capture & last night I was photographing IC443 the Jelly fish nebula using a Celestron RASA.

I noticed that when I stacked the 26 5 minute subs that the master stacked frame showed an elongated streak.

I examined each of the subs & they showed a moving point of light. I think I have captured a bright asteroid or similar object moving among the back ground stars.

Can somebody help me identify the object if known. I know very little about identifying potential asteroids. I can plate solve the position to give an idea of the location for last night so this might help.

I made a movie of the moving object & here is an image of the motion over a period of a couple of hours.

The still frame sub is below:

The movie I made giving the start & finish time is below:

Time is 22:04-00:23 20th December-21st December

Let me know if you can help.

Do you have the date and time from to that you were imaging for in GMT?

Hi,

That'd be asteroid 27 Euterpe.

That'd be asteroid 27 Euterpe.

Thanks for this information. It might just wet my appetite to find more asteroids.
