Opinions wanted on possible Variable IN M-51

HI Folks,
I was going thru some of my photos of M-51,and after careful study I found a star on my image that does not appear in the reference Image from DSS, I went back into all of the subs that I took for m-51 just to make sure that I didnt have a hot pixel or a gamma ray strike.
The DSS Image is of better quality and resolution so it should have picked up the new star.
here are both images with my image encircling the suspect in red.
you will have to zoom in on both images to see what I'm talking about

Any ideas or opinions?
Thanks,
Dennis m
