Image Details:

This is a photo of the sky with Comet NEOWISE and another object above and to the left of the comet. I don't know what the object is. In another photo taken 35 seconds later, I can see the object but it's much less bright, and it has moved left in the frame, towards the south. An astronomer friend of mine thought the object might have something to do with yesterday's SpaceX launch. Please comment if you think you know what this is. Thank you.
