When I observed Jupiter tonight I observed another object that resembled a moon but was out of line. I thought I observed it moving over time (relatively quickly) but as I did not make a drawing or anything I cannot be positive. It easily could have been a different angle or side I was viewing the eyepiece which made me think it had moved.

Anyway, I came inside to look up the sky on Stellarium to see if there was a star in the background, but nothing came up. So now I'm wondering if it was just a star?

I am new to Stellarium. Maybe there is a setting I can set to show fainter stars. I am checking that out right now. No, there doesn't seem to be.

It was more reddish than the moons.

How do I investigate further, or can somebody help me out with what I saw?
