Comparing the star field with wide field images taken at similar apertures on IIS this blue feature is not part of those images.
This is pretty strange, early in the night while I was waiting for it to get dark enough, I took three 300 sec JPEG's, just to confirm that my alignment was right. The small blue feature shows up in each of them.
In the stack of 16 x 300 sec raw files this small blue feature really is not that much better defined.

If you're in any doubt about where the nebula is, take a cut and paste
of this guy's image...resize it about 55% and overlay it on your image.
With some opacity. Again about 50%.
