#Tidaltail?

    Nice #dustlane! But what is the tiny dot at nine o´clock with a little tail after it? Perhaps it´s just a star from our galaxy? Or part of an edge-on behind the bigger galaxy?

    Looks like it is the center of a disturbed edge on. The central galaxy with the dustlane looks disturbed as well. It could be that they are interacting.
