The redshift of target galaxy is 0.019247. At that distance, I would expect a supernova of hot hydrogen to be green.

Redshift of galaxies. http://talk.galaxyzoo.org/#/boards/BGZ0000007/discussions/DGZ0000ulp?page=2

Also, it looks very similar to the blue star to the left.

No mention of a supernova in that galaxy in NED.

Never mind. It's already been discussed. No supernova.

Only to say that it is so beautiful. And I suppose the blue point it is not in the galaxy.
