The flare is obvious. Stars don't actually have rays in geometric patterns zillions of light years across like the brightest ones here do. The coma is less obvious and will bamboozle people for sure. I'm sure the wizards of smart will figure out how to compensate for it sooner rather than later, but this picture is not ready for prime time IMO.
