Unkown Object Imaged in Aquarius

Hello,
Early this morning between 1.53AM and 4.03AM AEST I took 99x 1m15s exposures with a 18-55mm lens set to 18mm F3.5 in the hope of catching a Perseids meteor.
I combined the 99 images using Startrails version 2.3 and thought I had captured a Perseid meteor, but when I searched for the individual frame I found that the trail, which is perpendicular to the star trails, forms only when all 99 frames are stacked and appears as a point in the individual frames, while the stars themselves have trailed over each 1m15s exposure.
I have attached a cropped image with a reference star labeled.
Any help in identifying the object would be greatly appreciated

Kind Regards,
Darren
