On the right side, one can find the galaxy UGC 378
(see the object ID). There is a blue-greenish object
in the foreground of UGC 378, or maby it is an
object inside that galaxy. If it is in UGC 378, it
might be a very bright supercluster, consisting of
young blue stars. If the object is in the foreground,
it might be an planetary nebula. I made a comparison
of the RGB-channels and a OIII-filtered image, one
can find it
here
. As one can see, the object is visible in
RGB and, very faint, also in OIII.
