No, not teasing, but yes, it is just the immense amount of light from Antares washing out the surrounding pixels on the Toucam sensor chip.
If I take a very short exposure it still forms a very small disc shape. Waaayyy smaller, but still larger than the surrounding stars. Even observing Antares at very high power it is more than an orange dot. But no, nothing like looking at the sun.
