Details:
This is an animation of Comet Jacques C/2014 E2 as it flies through Cassiopeia on August 23, 2014. This is its motion over just 17 minutes of time!
Ignore the brightness increases and decreases as I was not intending to make an animation in the first place.
It was only after I had closed up the observatory that I noticed the amount of motion in the images.
You may notice a bright small object near the end of the animation moving from the middle right. I do not believe it is a "hot" pixel nor is it a satellite (as it would have moved out of the field of view too quickly.) The only other possibility might be a bright asteroid?
Captured with my old orange Celestron C8, focal reducer, Canon t31, 6400 iso, prime focus, 10 to 20 sec exposure times.
