Its a nice thing to tell uninterested folk to see their eyes glaze over.
What are the other things it may be ... and do you know how long it will be there if its this or that.
Anyways I may embellish the story for my Dad and tell him I was the only one to discover it and that it is a previously unknown dark matter star that came from another dimention...so he will see my spending on astronomy gear as less wasteful and to make him happy his bearded Son is doing something useful  .
I have many captures of stars that I took simply because they were in a convenient location suiting my sitting position for gear testing and I could not even tell you what or where but maybe I should look thru them as they are regions no one would be photographing.
So a convenient excuse ....Mmmmm sorry I cant deal with that at the moment as I am conducting a sky survey looking for dark matter stars.

Hey, never let the truth get in the way of a good story - it'll always be Alex's Nova ( = unknown dark matter star that came from another dimension) to me!
And thanks Bo for the reference image!
