    The bright object in the centre of the image is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colours, white spikes and dark blue spike through the centre are all optical artifacts.

    happy hunting ! 😄

    Thx. That was helpful. The galaxy to the right is more interesting as it is the first ring galaxy that i have seen with double debris trail!!
