    Hi! Is there any way to find other images of this beautiful thing? I don't have a telescope at home.

    Hi and welcome @Alfy 😃

    That is a star from our galaxy, and there does not seem to be much info available on SkyServer or SIMBAD.

    You don't need a telescope to contribute to the Zoo, just your clicks!

    You can rent the use of a telescope on-line. There are a few around, Google it. It costs money, but so do backyard scopes. The telescopes themselves are in the Canary Islands, or Australia or cloudless places. Either send in an order for a co-ordinate, or steer the telescope yourself, and you get the image back.

    Some of our amateur photography is here 8.8 Our Astrophotography http://talk.galaxyzoo.org/#/boards/BGZ0000001/discussions/DGZ0000wrb?page=8&comment_id=53d8bc9cdb90c76202001145
