When you look at M31 does it appear to have a bright central star? I have noticed that it has a central point that is so bright and small that it appears like one. I assume it must be just the core, but it is so sharp!

I have noticed that in larger scopes, very stellar-like nucleus. Try looking at the M84/86 group with a large scope (over 14 inches or so) the two giant ellipticals have a pinpoint stellar nucleus.
