Hi all
Can someone please help me identify an object I have seen moving in the sky? No aliens here
but possibly an undiscovered asteroid?
First, attached are 4 images each zipped. The time they were taken should be apparent from the name of each file.
The 4 images are of Haumea and were taken with the Hubble Space Telescope. The images were downloaded from
http://archive.stsci.edu/hst/search.php
For the following measurements 0,0 is at top left. I see a faint dot moving in a straight line.

20100628 181637 ibg0b1mzq_flt 287,289
This looks real enough to me. I have two questions. The first is - what is the object I am seeing? The second is - what software or online tools can I use to identify a moving object such as this?
Hoping someone can help.
cheers Peter
