I'm new at this and I wanted to get other thoughts on it. This looks like some sort of exploding star or perhaps several objects gathering around a large star.

The round object with the concentric rings is indeed a foreground star. The other objects are galaxies. No interaction whatsoever possible between these two kinds of objects !

Is this a supernova? I'm new at this and just wanted to see what others thought?

The very bright object to the bottom right is a foreground star.
Btw, always classify the object in the center of the image.

star is my guess

diffraction of the colors is unusual, probably not the galaxy itself. There is much debris around it. Might be a star.

The bright object is a foreground star. Btw, always classify the object in the center of the image, even if it is the most boring one 😃

Are these ring anomalies just an artifact or something unique? Still new to this. Dgow
