IC 1502 is south of Alrai, it can't be it. the closest half bright star to the blue dot is HIP2794 at magnitude 8, the closest galaxy is UGC 481 at a low magnitude 16 and that's closer to HR240 than the blue dot.
I'd add pictures but it's getting very late here (1am). Is this FDevs "star of Bethlehem"?
I have to agree. If the spot in the graphic identified as "the blue galaxy" in the image taken from Sol is, in fact, the blue galaxy then it appears to out of place for IC 1502. I do express some doubt that the spot in the image is "the blue galaxy" simply because, on my computer, it simply appears to be an ordinary star. Could be down to my graphics though as I'm just sporting a GTX 970.
I'm using Stellarium to try and pin point it but I'm not seeing anything that close to HR 240 (HIP 4283) that makes sense.
