found a slow moving object while imaging. Going through data integrating image etc. Unsure how to tell if this is known or unknown object. Assume known since it was fairly bright and slow moving. How/where does one find out known objects and how/where would I report this if it is unknown?

If it was bright and slow moving I would first rule out a satellite.  The SkySafari  app  has satellite and minor-planet (asteroid) data.   Set the time in SkySafari to the time of your image and check to see if anything was in the area.
