What is the bright object right below to the left of the cloud? Seems to follow the cloud or just not seeing enough of it

Thanks for the comments. To explain, you can see this structure in context here http://spaceweather.com/gallery/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=82862

The animation is a sequence of 15 frames, each a 6s exposure and in a 15s repeating block - so 6s exposure, wait 9s then 6s exposure, etc. The camera is on a fixed tripod so the stars appear to move behind the clouds.

That might be Mercury rising near the bottom of the shot. Great sequence.

The bright star is Capella in Auriga.

Beautiful work! The way that center knot winds and unwinds almost looks magnetic versus convection. I think something important could be learned from this image. Thanks!
