How do I identify this moving object?

I'm sure I've read about websites that help you identify asteroids or satelites in images here before, but after a bit of digging about I'm still clueless. I was putting together an LRGB image taken at astrofest last year still languishing on hard drive and found this 200 sec lum frame has an object that appears to have brightened and dimmed about once every 3 secs on it.

This was taken about 0045 8/8/10 at Duckadang. The secs estimate comes from the gap until the next frame (there's usually about 30secs between my frames allowing for downloading, guidestar settle, etc). Nearly forgot - image is Messier 15.

Just a bit of Sunday frivolity, but any assistance appreciated.
