What's causing this ...?

I'm very new to AP and trying to figure out what's happened to Deneb here. My workflow was stacking in Syril then ST where I've just did a autodev, wipe, contrast and colour. The scope is a Redcat51 and camera is a Fuji XT1. I've also processed the image with Syril where the same thing happens so it's obviously not software related. I just don't know what it might be so any help will be much appreciated. The image is from near bottom right of the frame. Thanks, Roman.

Doh ... I didn't check my subs properly! 12 of the 80 had significant blue cast with a strong bloom around Deneb. Possibly an upstairs light being turned on somewhere and shining into the scope? Lesson learnt :)

Glad to hear you got that sorted. :) It can sometimes be caused by smoke or high/faint clouds as well.
