Help to identify unknown object..

http://southcelestialpole.org.au/for....0;attach=3164

Hi all,

I need some help trying to identify an object which passed through my FOV lastnight while I was setting up to take photographs of M83. The actual image is 2 frames overlayed on top of one another, the object went from top to bottom. This was taken from my backyard, 25km north of Adelaide CBD. Time of first image was 22:24:30 CST, Exposure time was 2 minutes @ ISO 400, second frame was taken at 22:27:30 CST, Exposure time was 2 minutes @ ISO 400. So the trail length is 2 minutes long. The charts were made from Skymap Pro 8 to show the FOV of the Camera/Telescope arrangement.

Camera was a Canon 400D, Telescope was a 80mm F5.75 ED Refractor.

Can anyone work out what object it is?
