    Hi and welcome @Idaeus_42 😃

    It is a galaxy - I would go with dwarf or irregular galaxy.

    Hope this helps and happy hunting 😄

    Thank you. I taking about object at the center. Is that star?

    The central object is a galaxy 😃

    It is quite faint and diffuse, so it is most likely a dwarf galaxy.

    Dwarf galaxies are really small galaxies with only a fraction of the stars that our own galaxy has.

    Hope this helps!
