AHHHH!!! That's what you saw!!!

A dirty snowball

Duncan, there's so much stuff up there that it's not all mapped. Could be anything from a small Globular to a distant Galaxy. I tend to find clusters of Galaxies everywhere I image in very long deep exposures now.

Mark it on a sky map if you can, and then we can do a search for you
