SDSS Green object

  bright green object at 1oclock - doesn't look like an asteroid/artifact.
  

  Q. How does one investigate using FITS data on a Windows 7 machine? i.e. is there free/recommended software for Windows that works with this data?

  DS9 is very good, but its User Manual is underwhelming. Keep plugging at it, it's worth it when you get to be able to make it do what you want.

  Hope this helps, happy hunting! 😃
