Right of center, it appears that a smaller star is directly in front of a larger star. Does anyone else think this is a possibility? It seems to me that it really could be, but anyway, it's very interesting ! 😃

The actual stars would be much smaller, they appear big because the atmosphere of the Earth makes their image smooth and fuzzy. Maybe they would only be a pixel across, maybe smaller?
You can see the bar length: it is 1 arc-sec long.
Betelgeuse is a large star and "near", and it has a width of 0.05 arc-sec, which is about 10 pixels wide. These stars would be much, much smaller.
