  I assume this is a star as it is large in the field of view and intensely bright.
  It appears to have a companion. A double star?
  If it is a galaxy however then its candlepower would be supernal.

  The bright white object is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy. The object in the centre of the image is a fuzzy galaxy. Very hard to classify as it gets drowned inthe glare of the star !

  Happy hunting !
