I am going to get myself some drawing paper and pens etc soon, for this I just used the old ones I had at hand.
Question, are all these five dots (not including the {6th} dot for the "i"in "Juptier") moons or is one of them a star. If so, which is the star?

Hi Michelle, I was observing at the same time as you from here in Cambroon about 80kms from you in a straight line
What you have is the 4 Jovian moons plus one star.
All of Jupiters other 60 odd moons are to faint to be seen in most amateur telescopes
Keep up the good work
Cheers
