Hi Trevor, actually this has recently changed, the reports now are some APer's have recently received funds to upgrade their equipment because they have found Large gas giants. But still could be a binary view. Maybe report your find to see if it can be confirmed.

I would keep a track on the star for a while to see if it is a one off. Close quarter Gas giants usually rotate once every few days so it may be possible to catch it again.

Looking at the location it could appear at the back of the star too, photometry usually notices small changes when a star goes to the back. Also blow up the pic 400% and increase the pixel resolution at the same time to see if you can see anything. Use Cubic interpolation.
