Starship Asterisk*

Could that shape be due to the the rotation of the comet about its own axis and some sort of surface properties causing preferential heating of the middle during perihelion ?

I zoomed in on the pics and cropped (no rotation) them and here are two copies of the zoomed and cropped version which show the moons at the right place. I used stellaruium to verify that. The only thing that those could be (besides Jovian moons) background stars or some lens artifact. VenJpt_belets...

ON looking closely at the Jupiter it appears as if the Jupiter moons are visible. Is this an illusion or real?
