Animation of the discovery
images of S/2000 S 2 from the ESO 2.2m telescope.

100-sec exposure (area shown is approximately 20 seconds of arc on a side)
The images were taken about 15 minutes apart.
The satellite is moving up and to the left
on this image, other "moving" targets are cosmic rays (noise) and do not
