Hi Anslinger and welcome to the Zoo,

The bright object (top left) is a foregrund star from our galaxy The colours, spikes and weird centre are all optical artifacts.

But the object that you are supposed to classify is the small, fuzzy galaxy in the centre of the image.

Happy hunting !

Quite an irregular shape of a star plus odd reading.

But the object you are supposed to classify is the faint and fuzzy galaxy in the centre of the image.
