What is that?

  I classified the galaxy as a spiral one with a faint center bulge. My only question is what is that strange blue cylinder shape in the bottom middle of the image? Some shooting star? Or just a problem with the camera? Someone let me know!

  The blue object is what an asteroid looks like in GAMA images.
