Asteroid 2001 KS14
on Jan 10, 2003

The moving object that is next to 3 stars is 2001 KS14. See the attached pictures. I don’t recall that we called it PX, or PX moon. I have followed HNSKY instructions on using minor planet data from MPC in HNSKY. HNSKY reports Asteroid 2001 KS14 at RA 4 21 44.5 DEC 12 08 32. DSS2 shows the object is almost at RA 4 21 44.547 DEC 12 08 32.17

The images were taken around 7 UTC so that would be about 10.29 and give an RA 04 21 44.7 Dec 12 08 35 which is right where that object shows up on the images.
