Not sure about this

I'm a novice at reading the associated data, but this looks more like a supernova remnant than a galaxy. Thoughts?

Hi and welcome to the Zoo @brineryte 😃
This is actually a foreground star from our own galaxy - the strange colours are all artifacts caused by imaging errors with the telescope. Also looks like the different color filters were out of focus. In future just classify as a star / artifact 😃
Here is the larger scale image from Skyserver:
Hope this helps and happy hunting!
