What is that?!

  (Not the object in the centre) but in the top right hand corner...? It's actually too bright to look at, even as a picture!! Also interested in what the yellow line could be!

  Hi ringb3 and welcome to the Zoo

  The bright object top right is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy. The colorful blue spikes and the big yellow one are all optical artifacts.

  Happy hunting !
