The asteroid is near the Zenith when this was taken. North is to the left.
(Hyperstar reverses) East is at the top. The image is about 1/3 of a degree.
The whole frame is about 1.8 degrees wide by 1.2 degrees tall. Here's the full
frame (829K) flipped for correct view.

I'm working on identifying the brighter stars and small galaxies in the frame.
So far, I think the brightest stars are HIP 70409 (lower left) and HIP 69959
(right of center). A small galaxy between may be NGC 5608. But, I'm still
trying to plot everything. I haven't ID-ed the star by the possible asteroid
yet.
