Possible Supernova in AGZ000yv3

  There appears to be a small bright spot SE of this spiral galaxy core. There is not really any irregular shape that would suggest a galaxy merger, so I am proposing this could be a supernova. What does everyone else think?

  I think it's a star from our galaxy.

  Hi marksharris and welcome to the Zoo

  Happy hunting ! 😄
