Hot pixel, or a satellite of some sort .... any other suggestions?

I too noticed that, Steve. At first I thought it could be light from a bright background object refracted through the atmosphere, however there are no other bright objects in the 'space' section of the image.
On looking closely it appears to my be-glassed eyes that there is a very faint vertical trail beneath the spot. So it could be launch of some description (though I wouldn't expect the trail to be so straight and vertical). My guess therefore is that it's some sort of artefact produced by the processing or chips, or perhaps a rogue reflection of some description.
To be honest I don't know. Lovely image - quite surreal.
