What am I looking at here?

  Being new at this i like to be sure of what am I looking at here.
  Is it a faint ring-galaxy, and what are the three brighter objects?
  Thanks

  The three brighter objects are nearby stars right?

  Actually those are foregroundstars from our galaxy. I don't see a ring here, maybe a pseudoring due to backfolded spirals (2D image).
