    I have never seen this type of image before. I have looked at it through all the available filters and I am at a loss. Two stars? Two Elipticals? One eliptical, with a huge dust lane? I will call it the Cats Eye. But I would appreciate any comments. I am truly curious. Chris Dean.

    When in doubt, zoom out 😃

    Hi Christopher Dean and welcome to the Zoo

    These are stars from our galaxy, but something went wrong with the imaging/filters. Classify as star#artifact.

    Happy hunting ! 😄
