Very faint galaxy

  • tomas_depaula by tomas_depaula

    This looks extremely faint! Plus it's very uneven, with hardly any brightness on the right side of the image and a much brighter spot to the very left (though this could be a background galaxy or a foreground object).

    Can someone help me interpret this?

    The central galaxy is indeed faint. I'd classify it as a disturbed barred spiral. And the bright blob at 9 o' clock is probably a foreground star from our galaxy.

    Happy hunting !😄
