Overlap? Star? Something else?

    I can't make heads or tails of this. From the centre of the galaxy to the 10 o'clock position it looks like there's a galaxy hidden behind it. However, Skyserver calls it a star, which I find hard to believe looking at the shape.

    So is it an overlap with a glalaxy which just happens to align with the galaxies nucleus, or is Skyserver correct and I'm looking at a star? Or could it be something else?

    The object at 10' o'clock is clearly a galaxy. It might be an overlap, yes 😃. Could also be a small cluster of galaxies .
