Weird fruity loops image

  • Revontisk by Revontisk

    After months I log in again and this is one of the first images I get. Not at all something you'd expect. It seems distorted and just not a correct image. I zoomed out with the skyserver and the bigger picture showed that it was quite a distorted picture as a whole, in my opinion.

    Any thoughts on this? Is it a glitch?

    These are actually out of focus stars from our galaxy ! Combined with lots of imaging and filter problems ! Just classify as star/#artifact !
