I took a number of pics of the eclipse this morning. While studying
them later, I noticed a small rather bright object that was in front
of the moon, (about 5:48edt - about 95% coverage), then over the next
15 minutes seemed to move to the right of then above the moon. Any
ideas what this is? I can send or post if anyone is interested.

Thanks all!!! Sorry to trouble you with the problem in the cockpit
here!!!
I'd never noticed this before!! I was studying the pictures a minute
ago and
had noticed the uniform shape of the Unidentified Dot!!!
Regards,
TomCee

Hi, there, Tom. Please let me admit that it happened to me, too, when
admiring some wide-field images that another member of my local astronomy
club (Sacramento Valley Astronomical Society) took in the area around
Orion.
Looking at the frames as a gif animation, and progressing very slowly, I
seemed to see a "moving dot" that might be minor planet. This was when
4 Vesta was approaching its brightest, so minor planets were especially
topical.
No, I was informed, it was only a hot pixel.
Most appreciatively,

Ok; I've posted them here.

They are unprocessed (CanonSD600), so you'll have to fiddle with them
a bit.

Yes, this is definitely a hot pixel on your CCD. In the last three images,
which are at the same scale, the hot pixel appears at coordinates X=1483
Y=1039.

They appear to be somewhat processed, at least. But in any case, you're
just seeing a hot pixel. If you compare the last three images, the Moon
is moving but the pixel isn't.

My guess is a "hot" pixel on the camera CCD.
