NGC 488-Asteroid (or Comet) Question

Look at this and the next post for the pictures. I haven't processed the images yet (single 10min exposure, no reduction)but here is my question-during the exposures, some object was moving very slowly right next to NGC 488 (RA 1h 22min Dec +5'18") taken between 4:50 UT and 7:50 UT 9/13/2010. How does one go about identifying that object (or can somebody figure it out)? Object is around 11 o'clock on the red and around 9 o'clock on the blue-NGC 488 is the clock!
