Asteroid transits Moon

I caught an object transiting the moon at approximately 6.30-6.50pm Australian time. A photo is attached. You will notice a black dot near the centre of the moon. I believe it may be an asteroid which transited between the Earth and the Moon. There is also a little filament in the top right of the image forming a spectre on the lens.

But the little black dot is real. So there you go. Some people wait their entire life for such an event...a planet killer.

Don't be surprised if someone picks it up again in Pisces.
