There is a quest to find azura star, I realized the quest is at a barrow i had just cleared, i went back and cannot find the star, is it lost to me now or is there any other way of getting it

You might want to put this in the spoilers forum. Without giving any spoilers I will say it doesn't sound like you're on the right quest to get the star.

is the marker for the quest take you to it or to where it should be?
