What's the very bright object?

Assuming you are meaning the star to the right of the moon.
Jupiter at a guess
Or venus depending on the time of day and if you are pointing at sunset.

Pretty sure this is pointing east, so that's going to be Jupiter - in which case you can see 2 of its moons immediately down & right.

Also, is that a green aurora glow off to the left?
Michael Hood - 24/Nov/24
Yes Schiehallion is exactly 90˚, so the planet is about 91˚, time is 0130 and I think that green glow has got to be a very faint aurora, though I didn't notice it at the time and it certainly didn't make the news. Thank you for identifying the planet. The orange glow looks remarkably like a sunrise/set, but sun is over 90˚ further north, it's bang in line with Killin though
