Galaxy underneath

  • goowik by goowik

    I'm no expert in any of this but why is the galaxy underneath so edgy? There is a noticeable white contour around.

    Any ideas why this is?

    Hello @goowik and welcome to the Zoo,

    It is a foreground star from our own galaxy 😃

    More info here on other objects that you will see that may also look a little odd.
