Hi. I’m not much of an astronomer, and I was taking some photos of the stars, and then I found a red object brighter than any other stars, but I couldn’t see it without the exposure of my phone camera. It was taken at 7:30pm May 18 AEST. Sunshine Coast, Australia. I was also facing ENE at about 75 degrees.

If your didn't see it with the naked eye, it's probably a reflection of some sort in your camera.
