Looking for Comet Leonard but photographed something else

Morning All I was looking for Comet Leonard on the night of 30th Dec. Taking shots using Canon 60D, 500mm lens with a light pollution filter, I captured a series of images of this object. My scope was at apron RA 20H and dec 33o. all this is approx as I quickly set up the scope. reviewing the photos and comparing them to other peoples pictures of Leonard, I noticed the "tail" is pointing in the opposite direction to photos of Comet Leonard. Any help in finding out what I captured?

G'day Chris, that's a star, could be Iota or Theta Piscis Austrini maybe.
That's not a tail, that's internal light scatter.
