Nah it’s not the actual Eye of Sauron, but it does seem like a metaphor for it. Here is the quote:

“But in the South one star shone red. Every night, as the Moon waned again, it shone brighter and brighter. Frodo could see it from his window, deep in the heavens, burning like a watchful eye that glared above the trees on the brink of the valley.” - The Fellowship of the Ring

Assuming that the star you are seeing was meant to represent that star. I also remember seeing a red star playing the mod several times. But it’s clear this is a real star, not the actual Eye of Sauron.
