Green and magenta asteroid

• by Budgieye moderator

  Most asteroids are in DECaLS are blue and green filter images, with red somewhere far away.
  In this image we see the green image, but the blue is superimposed on a red star, making a magenta (blue-red) colour

  Spotted by jackity and bluemagi, looks like an asteroid exactly overlapping the galaxy's center (probably)
