My First Astro Tests - But what is this ?

Hi,

Finally found some time over the Xmas break to take out my Meade SN10 and try to photograph the Orion Nebula. I've had ok results. Next step is better polar alignment.

Anyhow while focusing the scope I came across this anomoly. Now I'm presuming it's some sort of lens flare from the intense star I've targetted but I'm sure it's not meant to be there.

Any suggestions to why this is happening ?
