Helix intruder.

I was just processing some of my Helix RGB from the night of the 10 and saw a dim object moving slowly though the image. You can see it as the RGB line in the top left corner, I started the image run at 10.24pm and finished at 12.31 am on the 11th.

Any ideas out there of what it is, I know it is most likely a well known solar system object, it appears in the fits files as a moving point source about as bright as the three stars near by.

Thoughts
