I have checked a few places and the star to the upper left of the object appears as HIP19641, (mag 6.01) and there is nothing beside it in that position. The stars on some charts go down to around 14th mag and beyond and still nothing. I tend to agree with Martin that you have been fortunate in catching a "head-on" metoer most likely a Taurid, nice catch!
As for the green glow, this as Paul says is caused by using a wide angle lens and an longish exposure, it is only a hotspot, I have got this stacks of times!
