Strange blue box thing?

    There appears to be an unusual feature in this photo that I haven't scene before, does anyone know what that strange blue box thing is?

    Hi g_sullivan and welcome to the Zoo

    The white object at the bottom of the image is a foreground star from our galaxy. The blue box is an optical artifact (ccd overload).

    Happy hunting!
