Been processing some NGC1499 Ha data i managed to capture last Sunday 21st when I noticed a slow moving object in a series of frames. Is there an app or a website that can identify these objects? Asteroid? Satellite? Tesla? This was a series of 10 minute images taken from 7pm last Sunday through to 5am on Monday morning. Co-ords of the object just before midnight Sunday was RA: 04-03-16, DEC: 36-34-39

It's asteroid 779 Nina. Initially I checked in Sky Safari but didn't show anything until i realised I needed to update the catalogue. Pretty accurate as well. 1 minute out on RA and 4 minutes on Dec. 77km wide, 1.5AU away and whizzing merrily through the solar system at a leisurely 19km per second. Captured with a little 50mm scope out in my back garden. 🙂
