    Many moving dots in TESS movies, esp when looking at nr the N celetial
    pole (havent checked S pole yet; but that's also on the expected list).
    A few days ago came across that bunch of fireballs headed toward
    the camera and swerving at the last second (you can see the twisty
    curve in the tail of one of the obj in the middle picture).

    And now we have a slightly different spectacle. From the rhs comes
    a bright obj apparently shining a bright light in front of it.
    The obj is definitely moving right to left but the "beam" is preceding it.

    Maybe "they" are wondering what that machine is over there with all
    the glass eyes.

    OK. Email from someone saying it is probably a comet. Maybe. :)

    Due dilligence preceded the post. I looked through the ~220 comets
    in my database and just finished uploading all the comets specifically disovered in 2022 when the new images were snapped.
    Many of them at at DECL between 70 and 80.
    Many are between RA 130d and 150d.
    But none are both.

    Sect 47 is centered on RA 143.4, DEC 73.1.

    Maybe it's a comet but one I can't find yet. An odd position, overall.
    Out of as I said ~220 comets I track in the database because they got
    a red flag at some point only 3 get up that high.
