Thanks for that, NGC 2023 would account for the brightness of the object I observed. Its slightly west of my position but finderscope was proberly out by a bit. Only thing is, this object appeared to divided by darker nebulosity accross the middle (in eyepiece's perspective). The 'lump star' picture looks like a single cloud as brightness is concerned, but perhaps the picture is a narrow fov compared to my 26mm.
Anyway, I will look at more pictures of this object - thanks for your help.
