Unusual object similar to Hanny's Voorwerp

• by nkrastev

  Hello,
  I just needed to check if anyone has observed the object in picture AGZ0006h7q between the 1 and 2 o'clock position relative to the galaxy in the image. The galaxy appears smooth with a massive core.

  Kind regards,
  Nikolay Krastev

  Hi Nikolay

  The green 'ring' is unfortunately an optical artifact. Don't know what causes it, sorry
