What the hell is this? Is it actually that colour or is it the telescope that makes it look like that?

Hi AlenaPayne and welcome to the Zoo

This is actually a star from our galaxy, but something went wrong with the imaging/filters. More here : http://tinyurl.com/GZartifacts

Happy hunting ! 😄

These objects are actually stars from our galaxy, but the colors are not real. Something went very wrong with the imaging/filters.
