unidentified object captured- please help identify

Hello,

While imaging M83 on 17th March 2010 I seem to have caught something on a frames. I only realized when post processing of course.

I've made a short video of the frames please see attached.

The subframes are 10 min exposures on the STL11000M with a Celestron C14 at F/11 on a G11

First frame saved at 1:23, the last saved at 3:05 on 17th March 2010.

best estimate is a location near (Epoch 2000) RA 13h 37m 11s, DEC -29degrees 43, 35

I cant seem to identify a planet, minor planet near there
Could be an asteroid perhaps?

Any help much appreciated
(sorry i couldn't figure out how to make a proper animated gif but will update as soon as I can)

Thanks
frank
