    I wish a #moderator would tell me what this is ... binary star system? 2 very round galaxies colliding? I'd like to improve my data entry ... should this have been marked "star or artifact"? It didn't have the cross shaped artifacts, but resembles some other "blobs" like this. I've thought of them as "popcorn" but are they just dim stars greatly magnified? Some with this appearance have what seems chromatic aberration, red on one side, green on the other. This one is beginning to show that.
