BAZ Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Nice, you brought out the detail well. Got to love a faint fuzzy. Bottletopburly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Glafnazur Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 just looked this up and you've captured QSO 0957+561 also known as The Twin Quasar. I've circled it (badly) in yellow 🙂 from Wikipedia The Twin Quasar (also known as Twin QSO, Double Quasar, SBS 0957+561, TXS 0957+561, Q0957+561 or QSO 0957+561 A/B), was discovered in 1979 and was the first identified gravitationally lensed object. It is a quasar that appears as two images, a result from gravitational lensing caused by the galaxy YGKOW G1 that is located directly between Earth and the quasar.

Cheers what a brilliant bit of information now to find out how far away it is, Ran through astrometry and even that didn’t tell me what you have ,Update whoa 7.8 billion light years away now that’s nuts 👍 Edited January 25, 2023 by Bottletopburly +Glafnazur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
