Known, as in minor planets/asteroids that are known.

South, one is -41 declination, another -62, another -70, another -65.

Edit: some of the pictures were taken on April 1st, but it is not a joke if that is what you are getting at. And yes, motion is like an asteroid but the question is more how to identify exactly which they are, or if they are yet to be catalogued.
