You are quite right Jase.
I have completely redone the image except for the halo around the bright star. Removing halos from stars has always been difficult.

Hello Eric. This one doesn't have a name. It's a very faint interaction between NGC2992/93 galaxies. A catalogue of peculiar galaxies was composed by Hamilton Arp in the 1960s.
