Re: Good eyes . . .
There is a definite ovoid shape to the spot, with a nicely lit oval dust cloud. Also, I can just make out four spirals coming out of it.
I would call it a galaxy, but whether it is much further from the primary and red-shifted or very near to the primary and merely red in color will remain a mater of debate for decades to come -- until we have a better method of viewing these wonders.
Now, if we could see if any Cepheid variables existed in the picture...
