Star with small stars behind

Ok all, Dont shoot me for this one, but I am just wondering if anyone in the south uk has a telescope, I have been watching this star for a week or so, simply because I did not see it there before.

Now I only have binoculars but can see the star as an out of shape thingy with a trail of stars like a tail behind it. i say out of shape because if i look at another star it appears fully round

181Degs south by 28degs azimuth

Just be interesting is all.

Donny sounds like it could be Jupiter with its moons that you are seeing. Its too cloudy here in wales as usual so i looked at a star map for tonight and it shows to be above horizon in a near southerly position.
Just best guess.
