Question Please identify this object in my image.

Hi everyone. I was looking through some past images from Australia Day this year and found something in this image and i dont know what it is. I dont think it is a hot pixel, but could be wrong
It has blue/green and purple colours in it.
Does anyone know what planets, stars or whatever would have been around that area of the Moon and Venus that time of year thanks.
I am unsure if any processing will bring out any more details. I will try and put a link to the full sized image.
I have cropped and zoomed in on the object in question, might need to cntrl + it to make it bigger.
Cheers EDIT- the obejct in question is around the top left area of frame.

I think there may be some funny business like that going on. I just used SkySafari on the Ipad and tried to star hop my way to the appox location and i couldnt really find anything.

A quick look at Stellarium shows Formalhaut (mag 1.15) in the very position of your blob. I'd say it's odd shape is due to its incessant squirming in the twilight heat/haze/glow.

All good and no UFO
