I ran a test this morning with my camera by shutting off the lens with my hand and the same images appeared!.
What we have here are hot pixels and not images of the star and Uranus. I sincerely apologize to the forum and the group.
On different images it appeared that the two spots were on different positions of the CCD chip but there is no doubt now that these are NOT images of a star and planet.
I ask the moderator to withdraw the thread.

Here is the evidence.
This is an image of my hand in front of the lens of the camera. Enhancing the picture shows the self same "Heavenly Bodies!!"
Ironically the colors and the positions matched the supposedly appearance of Lambda Aquarii and Uranus. Even the apparent magnitudes!!
Bummer!!!
Sorry Guys. Maybe I should just stick to the moon!!
