not sure what I am seeing there

  Hi ,

  is this a star in front of a disrupted galaxy (the star has probably nothing to do with the cloud behind)?
  Not sure at all what I am seeing there....

  thanks

  Under the image, someone has identified it as a high proper motion star.

  There is a star in front of the galaxy, but the high proper motion star is the yellow one at 14:00.
