Unknow object

Hi everyone

Thank you for spending your time reading this.

I was trying to capture image of M20 from backyard, but I pointed my scope to North and was not tracking. Till I realised, M20 was hidden behind the tree. So I decided to take image around this area. I dont know where I was looking. First I took image through canon eos 400d and I tried using modified philips webcam. I got focus with .5x focal reducer on GSO f/4 200mm, so it became f/2. Which was very fast even 1 sec webcam stream was showing this faint Gobular Cluster clearly on the screen.

When I took image through canon 400d at around 8:45pm, there was no bright object on the left side of image, but when I took image through webcam at 5 sec exposure at around 8:54pm, I noticed the bright object.

Can anyone tell me what this star cluster is and what the bright object captured on webcam imaging.

Image specs:

1. GSO 8" f/4, canon 400d 10 sec exposure stack on 7 frames.

2. GSO 8" f/2 Philips SPC880 5 sec exposure stack on 10 frames.
