Part of the galaxy or not?

• by Artman40

  I've found this object. Is it in front of a galaxy, behind the galaxy or part of a galaxy? SED diagram is very star-like though.

  Yes, part of the galaxy NGC 5951, and SED probably contaminated

  I don't know if it is necessarily part of the galaxy; we don't know that without spectroscopy. But, yes, I would worry that the SED is contaminated.
