That blob that Matty P circled is what I was referring to. That's the Witchhead I believe.

Hi Chris,
It doesn't matter if you are not an expert, I appreciated your reply regardless.

The Witches Head is a massive object and even on my image scale should cover about 25mm. Comparing the same star field with similar images posted on IIS that small blue area in my image is not part of the object, however, as I was saying to Steve, I checked it out with the Herald Bobroff Astro Atlas. This Atlas is very good and has very high res charts for this area, the region they mark out for IC 2118 does include my small blue area.

Regards
Trevor
