Confusion

  • Solan by Solan

    I'm looking at this, and wondering what the sliver of green light above the galaxy center is. Is there another galaxy? If so, are the galaxies merging? Is it a supernova? Or is it just a stars light getting in the way? Someone help answer this please.

    I was hopeful that it was a buried lens, but other objects nearby also have a green blip, so it is a problem with misaligned images from the different filtered images.
