What is this brightly coloured thing? An artifact?

  Does anybody know what that is? Obviously no galaxy and no giant space amoeba. What then? Artifact?

  Hi Qexilber and welcome to the Zoo

  All the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy, with lots of imaging and filter problems. Classify as star/#artifact.

  Happy hunting ! 😄
