You're right,
How could such a bright star be missing?
It has left it's diffraction spikes behind.
If you go - in Photoshop:
select color range, highlights,
it would pick up that star easily for a copy & paste.
The data is so good that if re-processed it's worth an APOD.
The colours & fine detail is astonishing - it's just those stars.
