Anyone have a guess what that object may have been?


Since you seem to be halfway serious about this, I recommend you get a
program like Starry Night.

Then, when you wonder what this or that star is, you'll be able to tell
exactly in seconds.

I think this would be a better $50 investment before you run out and get a
new telescope.
