Near the orange galaxies top center-left, zooming in shows a galaxy with a green dot on either end. Does that indicate lensing of the green dot which is behind the galaxy? Looks like a greenish star, really coherent to be a galaxy. Wouldn't expect an independent object the be visible from behind an entire galaxy.

I assume you mean this galaxy, located at 00:14:20.5913283 -30:23:08.694830 seen here in RGBB: 277, 200, 150, 115: https://i.imgur.com/Ct8uioP.png

I think we have arm features seen edge-on, like other galaxies that have a ring-like appearance. The two dots look quite green in 200W because there is a large loss of angular resolution when we step to redder 277W using the longwave part of the instrument.

They also do not bear the same z redshift signature of being the same source. In my sensitive mapping, they have a ratio 0.85, 0.75, 1.10 in 150, 200, 277 with a four-pixel encirclement. Luminance difference showing here: https://i.imgur.com/eNRMwJh.jpg

Overlaying the field's calculated angular offset gradient, we do not see the warp required for a mirroring: https://i.imgur.com/BJYJOT9.jpg

There's lots of galactic companions brought out in this image, some likely to be coincidental, but others that appear even purple, from both a strong short and long infrared-shifted component of star formation in early globular clusters.

You are absolutely amazing. Not only for your evidence-backed assertions which this simpleton can follow, but also for the fact that you pinpointed my super-generic location description. Thank you very kindly!
