I made an animated gif of last years and a couple of nights ago images of the Lagoon Trifid region and there is a 'new' star. It could be a variable.
Here is a crop of the animated gif 4.5MB

There are also a couple of variables I think. The 'nova' is at top near center. The new star is in the image from Thursday night 15-04-2010.
I used Registar to match the two images in brightness contrast etc with the calibrate function.
