 The oval-ring object looks to me like an edge diffraction or
 reflection of the bright star off the edge of an off-axis guider
 or prism. Were you using an off-axis guider?

I think you may have solved the mystery, Yes I was using an off axis guider.
I took four more shots of the same object with the horse shoe in different
parts of the frame but I got the same results of all five shots, the same
reflection from the off axis guider prism.  So I guess we can call this the
off axis nebula.
