Interesting Star belt

What's going on with this belt of stars? That light blue, is that a white dwarf? I always assumed they were smaller. This one looks gigantic. Unless I'm looking at something else?

Hi ruskiyred and welcome to the Zoo
The central object (which you are supposed to classify) is a smooth and round elliptical galaxy. The object top right is also a smooth and round galaxy. The object bottom left is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors and spikes are optical artifacts.
Happy hunting ! 😄
