  What is the reddish cast? Some kind of optical filter? How do we interpret these effect? I see this frequently, different colors,
  Asking bright objects. Thank you. Fishquill@gmail.com

  Hi, this is a star from our galaxy. This iimage comes from a region that was very poorly imaged. Something went wrong with the filters I suppose.
  Classify as star/artifact.
  Happy hunting ! 😃
