Thas picture is just a spot of light. Not even sure which spot you need. You're asking us to tell one spot from another.
You need much, much more information: as a start, where and when was this taken, where is the camera pointing, and what are the two objects shown?

Nice photo!
I analyzed the photo very thoroughly. Judging from the light and the altitude my guess is that what you saw was this (I could not resist, sorry
).
Edit: On a serious note you could use the free software Stellarium and enter correct location and time and compare with what was visible at that time in the night sky.
