Artifacts have this simple GZ volunteer confused again?

    I checked Skyserver, and it doesn't recognize the blue and red dot in front of the galaxy. I don't think they're artifacts, as they show up in multiple wavelengths.
    I'm a bit hessitant to cry #supernova again, especially since two in one galaxy is too much of a coincidence, but what could they be?

    They are most probably foreground stars from our galaxy.

    Happy hunting ! 😄

    Hi dj tjitso,

    Again, I was referring to myself as the simple GZ volunteer, not you 😃

    Cheers,
    Abe
