Jup Moon No.6 & Friend

Hi all,
Started a project to image as many of Jupiter's moons as my equipment will allow. This is an animation of J6 (Himalia).
First exp.
TIME-OBS = '12:06:04'/HH:MM:SS observation start time, UT/22:06 EST
EXPTIME = 600.0 /Exposure time in seconds x3
Position is close to 19 12 19.8 -22 41 47
There is another object (marked ?) in the upper left corner.

Astrometrica gives no solution to either, probably due to them being Jovian sat's. Guide 7/8 only identifies J6.

Ok it's up to you. Any ideas?

The colour is an artifact of the animation process.
