Nikon Coolpix P900
This image of Jupiter was taken at the maximum zoom that this camera could go to. There was a black dot infront of the Jupiter. Certainly i think this was not a shadow of the galileon moons as the sun was behind Jupiter and the galileon moons were on the right of Jupiter. Sensing that my camera lens may have some dirt, i shifted it to take other objects but there was no dot anywhere to be seen. When i took the Jupiter again, i realised the dot was still there. Could it be the conjunction of Pluto and Jupiter? I read from many sources that Pluto and Jupiter will be in conjunction. See this

So can anyone help to explain what is this black dot infront of Jupiter as seen from Earth? I am puzzled !
