Are these light artifacts from a bright galaxy?

    In the brightest galaxy towards the bottom right there seems to be something 'odd' in the center of that galaxy. Are these just artifacts from the camera?

    Hi Ant232 and welcome to the Zoo

    The 'ring' in the center of the galaxy bottom right is indeed an optical artifact caused by oversaturation.

    Happy hunting ! 😄
