There are several galaxies in this field of view. Two of them are labelled with question marks since they appear to resemble galaxies. I cannot find catalogue numbers for them.
The star GAIA DR3 1753800004983448448 is shown to illustrate how Origin captures stars fainter than visual magnitude 16.
1 Delphini is a stable emission-line shell star and part of a triple visual system. Shell stars are important in modelling Be star disks. The spectra of the two main components were resolved by the following authors:
