Did I image an Asteroid? Need a bit of help

I was looking at ways to find differences in images taken over a night to identify things that moved and used pixel math to subtract one image of a galaxy cluster from another.

After a good look around I found an object that had moved between Image 1 and image 14 over a period of roughly 80 minutes.

I rechecked against an image taken halfway through the run and again the object indicated it had moved.

Luminance Exposures were 300 seconds and the image scale is 3.5

My question is, how can I find out what the object was. Are there sites which can help identify what the object is based on time, ra and dec?

Image attached. Thanks
