Possible Comet in Corona Australis

Below is a crop from my Corona Australis image. It shows an extended object moving against the stars.

I suspect it is a comet. Is it a known one? It may be an asteroid.

The data was collected 1/06/2016 22.06 to 2/06/2016 03.34 in order RGB

All you comet hunters should be able to do something with this info. Even if it is only an asteroid.
