Any idea what is going on in this picture ? Looks more like a collection of red blood cells than an astronomical photo !!

Hi Paulsky123 and welcome to the Zoo

All the objects in this image are overexposed and out of focus stars from our galaxy. Lots of imaging and filter problems.

Classify as star/artifact.

Happy hunting ! 😄

either overexposure, or some severe lensing going on, I'd think

These are all just over exposed out of focus stars from our own galaxy - The Milky Way
