Hi all,
What do you do when you have a object which is slowly moving through a FOV, and the object is not identified in a program like Astrometrica or CCDSoft when you do a "known object overlay" ?
I have to assume it's a known or unimportant object, because I come across this often and woldn't expect to find a new object "often", but the question still bugs me .. what do I do about it? how do I take it further and be more sure it's a known object?
I have MPO Canopus but am barely starting to understand how to use it. I am hence using Astrometrica and CCDSoft at this stage.
Background: I often find moving objects when comparing my supernova comparison images, and to date I've never successfully identified one. I have three from last night, so it's starting to bug me
How slow is slow you might ask? Let's say 5 arc seconds over a 23 hour period, is one example from last night.
Thanks,
Roger.
