Looking through some of last years photos i found this and can't figure it out.

If it's just a blurry star then why are the others not blurry????

I'm probably wrong, but, it somewhat resembles the Homonculus in the Eta Carinae Nebula.

Picked it in one. Plus it's not a solar system object ;)

Yep, that's the one. And a good image too, you've got quite a lot of detail and even a bit of the outer shell too :D
