What am I looking at?

Each frame is a real telescope exposure of the same patch of sky. Stars stay approximately in place; an asteroid moves. The circle follows Beebe’s predicted location, not a measured detection. Images use g, r filters, so stars may change brightness between frames. These images do not show Beebe’s surface.
