While fully automated methods for detecting faint moving objects inastronomical images - such as Kuiper belt objects (KBOs) - are constantlyimproving, visual detection still has a role to play especially when the fixedbackground is cluttered with stars. Color intensity projections (CIPs) usinghue cycling - which combines a sequence of greyscale images into a single colorimage - aids in the visual detection of moving objects by highlighting themusing color in an intuitive way. To demonstrate the usefulness of CIPs indetecting faint moving objects a sequence of 16 images from the SuprimeCamcamera of the Subaru telescope were combined into a CIPs image. As well hasmaking even faint moving objects easier to visually detect against a clutteredbackground, CCD artefacts were also more easily recognisable. The new HyperSuprimeCam for the Subaru telescope - which will allow many short exposureimages to be acquired with little dead time between images - should provideideal data for use with the CIPs algorithm. In addition, the current search forKBOs to be targeted by the New Horizon's spacecraft after its flyby of Plutoprovides an excellent test case for the state of the art in faint moving objectdetection against a cluttered background.
