Hi, Andrew,
The two images are both North up. They look quite different because the "whole thing" image has been stretched a lot more to bring out the halo.
You're way out-gunning me here, but by do-it-myself plate-solving my photo against the PPM catalogue, I measured the blue star at 00:23:58 -72:05:29 J2K, which plausibly makes it the 13 mag B8 star in your list. That was fun. Many thanks!
