Modris, yes. When I first looked at this, I thought, "Not Jupiter... oh that must be Pollux!" which I imagined would be a good puzzle to puzzle out. But now that I have taken time to measure it, Pollux doesn't fit either. He may have marked a "hot pixel" instead. I have asked Tom, the photographer, to check on it... He's a "reliable witness" and a skilled astrophotographer who also has worked at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, so I'm confident he will take this seriously.

In the meantime, the only angular scale available to us is the Moon. How accurately do you think we can estimate the angular scale from that? The altitude of the Moon is implied from the location and time so we know the augmentation, too.
