Well uranus was nearby so possibillity.
But according to the sky charts, and the orientation of your image against it, that looks like 20 Psc, a 5.45 mag star in Pisces.
It's a bright glowing star thats probably in the foreground though Jupiter's glow blacken's everything else, this star glows itself thru!

Good Observation!

Perhaps we have finally made contact!!
