Help required in identifying a star

Recommended Posts

Good evening.  Shown below is photo of Andromeda Galaxy I shot last year. Near the core of its satellite galaxy M110, I have marked a star. I was unable to identify this star. Would help if some one can tell if its a foreground star. I have searched the net to see some more pics of M110. This star seems to be there in some photos whereas in some pics its not seen.

Don't know exactly what that star is called - but it does appear on my image of M31 / M110

and it is even listed in Stellarium:

SIMBAD / Aladin Lite has several sources for this star (both 2MASS and GAIA2 have it):
