Asteroid Zoo Talk

Looks like something but not in proper sequence.

    Three out of four frames show something. Should a real asteroid move in a straight line from frame 1 to 4?
    What is the time span of the frame set?

    This is a flat field defect #ffd , the lower 3 of an inverted-T pattern. Basically a dust spot or something on the CCD imager, or a hot-pixil. Either type of defect moves with the telescope as it repositions between shots, where the scope is not exactly re-aligned with the background star field. Note the motion right-left relative to the right border haze, another type of ffd.
    Simply put, a scope defect, not something moving out in space.
