Fog in early

Got out at 3am and by 4.45 high fog was in so that was the end of that.
Back to bed.
Saw nothing in the 45 min I had but am in the middle of setting up a new pier I'v just built with a super Polaris and Meade Auotstar so I had the camera with my 300mm f4 and snapped a couple of shots of the Horses head as it was high in the sky and clear.

Still some work to do with tracking yet.

One question I do have is how do I go about indentifying a mystery slow moving object that popped up in some shots I'd done earlier about ten last night.

A strange green fuzzy object passing by the alignment of Jupiter.
I was using Jupiter as a guide to my drive alingment and in about four or five images this object moved some distance but remained in the frame of the 300mm lens.

Will post some shots tonight after work but how do we indentify these things???

Nico.
