I took this photo the other night with my compact, no telescope.

I think it's saturn, I'm pretty sure you can just make out part of the ring. At first I thought the 3 circles towards the front were some of the moons, but I'm not so sure, they seem pretty big.

Anyone got any ideas?

Exposure time was only 8 seconds.

Asteroid? Weather balloon.

This is another picture of the same object, taken on the same night.

I don't think that's saturn.

There are various sky maps online or free programs - I use stellarium. You can input your location and set the approximate time you took the picture. Then just have a look at what objects were above the horizon. If you remember the general part of the sky you were looking at it should be pretty easy to figure out what you took a pic of. At my latitude ~53 deg, saturn is currently below the horizon
