My result....
The three images are spread across 45 minutes. Digital sky survey image below that.
I am not convinced, but I'm sure there is something there. Th bright star on the right is TYC 847-1152-1 or SAO 118624 if you like.

STOP PRESS - I've had it confirmed by Peter from Hamburg using Guide that this is Pasiphae!
