It's probably a foreground star, but the shape is odd. Any guesses?

What is the red spot? It seems too irregularly shaped to be a foreground star.

Probably an overexposed star, or maybe two.

There is a bright particle there in the pure simulation image. http://www.illustris-project.org/exp/gal_obs/subfolder_070/image_262551.png
