I'm afraid I do not know how to search the discussion boards so forgive me if this has already been discussed. What's the blue dot in this picture?

Your blue blob looks like an asteroid that moved slowly during the exposure. Considering how slowly it moves, it may be a Trojan or even Trans-Neptunian object? Co-ordinates are near the ecliptic.
Here is a similar one that moves faster.
