Jim, your right, it is the individual RGB frames. The colors were removed so I
didnt get a color beaded appearance.

Not to focus too much on the Asteroid vs. the spectacular intended image but
when I zoom in I see three dark bands across the object which would lead me
to believe that those are the filter change on R,G,B and luminance with the
brightness change due to the asteroid itself possibly tumbling / rotating...

Dick,
Since tumbling space junk would cross that frame in seconds, it seems like
it would extend off the edges of the frame, or at least fade gradually into
the earth's shadow rather than abruptly end. Since this is a multiple
exposure using a filter wheel, I thought that the "dashes" might be
due to
the short delay between exposures while the filter is being changed.
Whatever it is, in moved only a couple arcminutes in a couple hours of
exposure time.
Also, the Crab Nebula is close to the ecliptic, so there are a lot of
main-belt asteroids in the area. It looks like the direction of motion is
roughly parallel to the ecliptic.
