Red Artifact

by tdery
This was an interesting one. I zoomed out and the rest of the stars in the field are red so the Red lens color is probably an artifact. I had to send this in to be viewed because its very different. Would be awesome if this was a lensed galaxy from the background. Doubt it tho.
Your thoughts?

As you say, many objects are red in that field. Lensed galaxies have an arc shape, and are usually blue in SDSS.
