Steve,

Here's my attempt at showing your field in Cartes du Ciel.
Red rectangle is your image.
Labelled red diamonds are the JPL HORIZONS ephemeris for Adelaide.
Times are UT so add 10h30m for CDT.
Looks like it exited your field at about 2115 local.
"Missed it by that much!" ;-)
Note the labelled yellow diamond is where CdC thought it would be using the MPC elements at the standard reference epoch
