Adding a new version of NGC7496 to have the same colorization as NGC628 and IC5332. The center of this galaxy has a very bright point source known as an active galactic nucleus (AGN). You can see it's quite different from the other two which do not have an actively accreting black hole.

 

Red (screen layer mode): MIRI F2100W
