Irregular Object

    Trying to determine if the red object in this elliptical galaxy is a camera artifact or natural. You can see it better inverted.

    Hi paris.antonio and welcome to the Zoo

    The red dot is probably an artifact or it could be a cosmic ray that didn't get cleaned up. Or even a foreground star ! Anyway, it is not important in classifying the galaxy ! 😄

    happy hunting ! 😄
