Comet near Capella on 27 Oct 2020?

Ï was doing some adjustment and focusing my C14 with f/7 reducer/corrector and was observing Capella. I took some images with my SXVR-M25C camera and noted a couple items which did not show up on my map via TheSkyX Pro. It looks like a comet in that vicinity, but when I tried to locate a visible comet in the vicinity, none was found. The asymmetry of the core with the "corona" suggests a comet rather than a planetary nebula. The second item was a bright star to the left of Capella which does not show up on the maps.
This image was taken about 2015 CDT from North Lake Wisconsin, in Waukesha County.
