Very nice service... just put position, time , geographical location and some other informations and you get any Solar System object that maybe could be present in your picture... great service... i need to wait for a new discover!!! Maybe a comet... but what a challenge!!!

Some details from wikipedia of asteroid 1986TT6:

"1986 TT6 is a dark Jovian asteroid orbiting in the leading Greek camp at Jupiter's L4 Lagrangian point, 60° ahead of its orbit in a 1:1 resonance (see Trojans in astronomy). It is also a non-family asteroid in the Jovian background population.[5][12]

It orbits the Sun at a distance of 4.9–5.5 AU once every 11 years and 11 months (4,350 days; semi-major axis of 5.21 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.05 and a notably high inclination of 35° with respect to the ecliptic.[2] The asteroid was first observed as 1975 VT5 at Crimea–Nauchnij in November 1975. The body's observation arc begins with its official discovery observation at the Toruń Centre.[1]"
