Question Mark

I'm uploading this time lapse video of Sex Peak Lookout in Montana because I haven't been able to figure out what the tiny white dot is that shows up at about 7 seconds into the clip and then doesn't move until it disappears in the last few frames. It's located near the center of the screen. Jupiter (brightest object in the sky) passes by close to it. I thought it might just be light refracting off the lens, but I've never noticed a refraction like that before. If you have any theories let me know. Thanks!

 

Taken with a Nikon D850 camera using a Nikkor AF-S 14-24 lens looking southeast at around 9pm to midnight. Frame rate is 1 photo every 5 seconds. September 27, 2022.
