  Hi carlayvonne,

  First of all, always classify the object in the center of the image, even if it it is the most boring one ! 😄

  And yes, the object in the top right corner is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors, spikes and square center are all optical artifacts.

  Happy hunting !

  So what is the object in the middle? Edge on spiral with a foreground star?
