In one of the shots during the Voyager opening credits the Voyager is doing a fly-by close to some blueish asteroid thing. At the top right hand corner there is this ship/space station thingy. Does anybody know what that is?

I always thought it was another asteroid.

It does indeed look a bit like some sort of constructed object, but close examination reveals it to be, as Liam said, just another asteroid. (At least, my close examination did.)
That's the first time I've heard that quote cum to use, actually. Apart from the original, of course.

I guess they modelled the rocky thingy a bit too angular, so it ended up looking artificial when in fact all it was intended to be, was... a rocky thingy.

No, I think it's the one where Voy is flying over the camera, deflector overlit,making a swoosh. The thing is spinning and moving slowly to the right.

It's when you're seeing it fly over as if you were on the surface of the asteroid - up and to the left is another rock that looks vaguely spaceship-like.

Me too. I don't know what you are referring to. I've checked the scene in question dozens of times, there is nothing that even vaguely resembles a starship.

You guys get ocular implants, now! Just before Voy surfs the Saturn-rings, when the camera is on the ground of a moon or asteroid, Voyager whizzes by with a blue deflector and there's a sophisticated structure spinning around in the upper left corner. It looks manmade.

I stick to it: that's nothing more than a plain simple - no, not Garak - asteroid! If it it indeed "manmade" then I believe it must have been made by the Pakleds - it looks so sophisticated! ;-)
