Hi all,

Just getting back into star gazing after a long break always used a mates telescope but have just purchased and am setting up a Meade SC 8" on a pier mounted Super polaris with AutoStar system.

While checking alignment and drive speed I had mounted my SLR with 300mm f4 lens and snapped a couple of 30 second exposures of Jupiter and on review noticed a moving object in the frames.

Now this green mystery object appeared it was too slow to be a satelite or other normally fast moving things like a metiorite.

I have uploaded four images, two were about a minute and a half apart and the other about seven minutes away. The fourth is an enhanced crop of the object showing a halo around it like could possibly be seen around a commet or a large asteroid.

How do I go about identifying this mystery object??
It looks interesting so any help is appreciated.

Nico.
