I hope it is, then it will be named after you!!
I'll certainly take a widefield shot tonight of the spot.
Could also be a lens flare from Rigel, did your camera orientation
change at all compared to where Rigel was in the frame?
That usually identifies a lens flare.

No Steve, the camera orientation never changed.
As I said before, the blue area even showed up, albeit faintly, in the 300 sec JPEG's that I took early on to check the field alignment.
