I made this animation from 10 JPEGS that a fellow in Spain sent it to me. He told me he had captured an asteroid while photographing M45 in a particular night (this was in a Spanish forum). I laugh and told him I could bring at least 12 asteroids in that field, if he sent me the individual frames. Well this time it was time for him to laugh. He stacked the frames and only found the one he saw first time. I said don't worry, just send me those frames. Unfortunately he only could send me the JPEGS not the original RAWs.
Anyway, I found the 12 I knew that were there and one more.

WOW! There's a LOT of stuff out there, how'd you track them all down? What resources / references did you use?

Thanks.
I use Adobe Fireworks to make my GIFs and CDC to know the position where I should look at. I use the MPC too. I needed to confirm the NEO at the MPC.
About this particular one, you should be dark adapted to see the fainter ones. I turn off all lights and use a dark background in my monitor. After a while you should see them all.
