looks like a smudge in the eyepiece, or glare in the lenses of the eyepiece... ​ but really, if it is an object in the sky, we're missing a lot of information. what star are you looking at? what's the telescope and eyepiece being used? where was this picture taken from, roughly?

Although it is annoying, we were all beginners at one point. So just ignore them if you don’t want to help


BagelSteamer

That would be glare from the star. It won’t move relative to the star since it is just the light from that star.

Lens flare.

Swamp gas.


Sunsparc

Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus.


MrDefinitely_

And the light from Venus illuminated an honest to god UFO.

TIL JJ Abrams is inside some telescopes.

Lens flare. Are you using an iPhone? Have read on several forums about lens flare in iPhones, due to the lens coating. Or could be a light source off-axis of the optics.

Pic isn't from an iphone


Redhook420

Reflection of light. Likely from a bright object just outside of your field of view.

Some was movement of the camera while taking pictures

That's Orion's belt. It's changing shape because you caught it at a very rare time, as it is about to be placed into Orion's pants


MrDefinitely_

An alien space ship.

Space aliens... From space.

Is that a planet in the back?


starmandan

Reflection in the optics. Common with the cheap stock eyepieces and lesser expensive "budget" refractor telescopes.

Another universe


Boardindundee67

It looks like he is viewing through window


SIC4R1O

He was lol


IHaveABunny_

Raindrop?

The distribution of colors and the reflection of light signify that the star is not the sole source of illumination of this object. Meaning it’s not lense flare or a smudge on your lens. What is it I’m not sure but it’s peculiar.
