After the first two shots I was thinking (hoping, actually) it had something to do with the pieces that have been flaking off. But their pattern of movement through the other 5 has me guessing it's some sort of reflection. patrick On 07 Nov 2012, at 06:33, Rodger C. Fry wrote:
Patrick,
Nice shot! What is the moving object in the lower left quadrant of the image?
Thanks Rodger C. Fry

I took several shots of 168P this evening in hopes of catching the fragments that have been seen coming off the main body recently.
No luck there but since I had the images I put them together into a brief animation:
