The name of the hidden image (found here) is clu255pe0id0ae.png

If you remove the numbers, you're left with the word "clupeidae" which is a type of fish. In fact, it's the family that herrings belong to.

The numbers we removed (255,0,0) together are the RGB value for the color red.

Putting this all together, we get "red herring" as the name of the hidden image. o_0

On the topic of color, I think it's important to pay attention to the colors within Sekhmet's post. I've noted the words/phrases that were highlighted with a color and their respective color codes from the DBO forums and RGB equivalents.

/?atmospheric/ = color #c00 (RGB: 204,0,0)
/the answer/ = color #60c (RGB: 102,0,204)
/object of particular interest/ = color #c00 (RGB: 204,0,0)

Based on these observations, my guesses on how to next proceed are to either:

1) Ignore the red channel of the images and look for hidden information on the green/blue channels

2) Manipulate the images to match the ratio of RGB in "/the answer/" color

3) Treat the clu255pe0id0ae.png image as a red herring literally and ignore it

I have no idea what to do about the grid, although I did notice that it happens to be 7x7 blocks, which makes sense for a Bungie related puzzle. :)
