Really bright object ?

by metalmania

Is that just a really bright nucleus or something strange?

I am with @vrooje - foreground star.

If you look at the stars @1, 5 and almost 6, you will see similar colouration and brightness. It is normal for stars within the same area / region to exhibit similar characteristics.

It's misaligned with the galaxy nucleus, and it does look similar to the stars in the field, so it could be a star.
