Artifact?

    Hello! I was curious if anyone had thoughts on what is being imaged here. I was unsure if it was simply an artifact. Thank you for your time!

    Hi mollywoodard and welcome to the Zoo

    The central object, which you are supposed to classify) is a fuzzy disk or spiral galaxy seen edge on. The bright white object is a foreground star from our galaxy.

    Happy hunting !
