NGC 1399 - faint star at NE edge?

While observing NGC 1399 (fornax cluster) last night, I noticed a star at the galaxy's Northeast edge, which doesn't seem to be there on any images I've searched for so far. One image I found shows a star at a similar location to where I saw it , but it appears to be extrememly faint, beyond the capabilities of my scope compared to other field stars that appeared very faint to me.

Anyone can give an explanation to this?

cheers
