Comet Atlas gets in my images (well I think its Atlas)

Whilst processing some images from Wednesday night of the Horsehead ,I spotted this on the very RH middle bit of the Blue and Green filter images, nothing much at all on the red, I think its Atlas.
The poor vid is a bit jerks as I had a couple of issues in the session so big gaps between some of the sequence.
Not spectacular I know but amused me 🙂

Cartes du Ciel has Atlas position marked. I've imaged it near Gemini 21.00 in UK this week. GIF's in this forum

Looks like a reflection,  certainly not a comet.

But it was moving at a constant speed over the 7 hours of imaging, so too slow surely to be a man made satellite

It's very erratic, oddly shaped and I suspec a reflection from Alnitak. How does it look when the images are stacked?

Yes looking at it again its not travelling in a straight line, I thought the erratic movements were just due to the fact the frames were not taken at consistent time intervals due to other issues I had but now I look again it does not go straight.

Winsorized Sigma clipping seems to have got rid of the bright part but there is still a bit of a glow in that area.

Never noticed anything like this before on this target so a bit odd.
