What is this ..?

Trying out my IR modded camera and took a shot of Jupiter just for the heck of it at about 10 pm.
Jupiter is the bright glaring spot obviously and it moons are all to the right of it. Two stars are at left below. HIP 44126 being the nearest.
So what is the weird shaped nebula(?) just below right to it ? Stellarium doesn't show anything there at all. It isn't moving at all across several pix.

It's a reflection of some sort.

Yep. Where you using one of your achro's, or eyepiece projection? Is there some cover over the CCD chip or filter somewhere?

But, is you were using your Newt', you've caught out ET punching out warp...

Just a 300mmcamera telephoto lens on my photo tripod. Time was almost exactly 10 pm

All clouds tonight so not able to investigate further . I'll take a closer look at it. If it is reflection I can probably duplicate it by positioning the setup as it was and if it is then I think I know where it came from, I hope.

I would say lots of hot pixels and a star out of focus and over exposed

This is an old thread but it turned out to be a reflection from neighbours window in the direction I was shooting. Planets are low on my northern horizon because it's uphill to the local volcano so house in that direction are only 10-15 degrees below the sight line.
Not hot pixels as it has only ever shown once in any pic.
