Eohippus nebula and r.a.g M45

Hello all,
Never heard of the Eohippus nebula eh!?
Well, it's a tiny horsehead!

Image details…
Taken under a bright half moon 8.12.08
Canon 40D (modded)

Canon 70-200mm f4L lens, 200mm @ f4
Skywatcher Synscan EQ5 mount
Autoguided with PHD

16x300sec, iso1600 ICNR on, flats subtracted.

Is the artefact ringed in the second pic lens flare?
They were on all subs at the same place and not removed by flats - no obvious dust/muck on lens or sensor either.

No High Res

Cheers for having a neb!
Doug
