What's the object at the bottom of this image?

  To me it appears to be a star with something in front of it causing lensing, am I mistaken? (I'm new.)

  Hi 8bitpineapple and welcome to the Zoo

  The object at the bottom of the image is just a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors and werd centre are just optical artifacts.

  Happy hunting ! 😄
