A glimpse of Supernova 1987A?

Loftus, NSW

A glimpse of the remnant of SN1987A? It hides between two nearby stars, but there seems to be a hint of something pinkish just between and blurring the boundary (especially to the lower left, as in the Hubble small inset) between the two stars near the middle of the main inset. The gap between the stars is pretty small, so getting near it is OK for me!
