    Isn't the object in the center middle a rather obious looking galaxy?

    i dont think its a galaxy. it might be a supernova remnant, though.

    I also doubt its a galaxy - far too red. I think its a small dust cloud heated up by the star near the centre - unless I am missing the glaxy altogether...

    Agreed. The green knot below it is kinda interesting as well.
