Purple

• by bluemagi

  Why are there some many purple dots and debris with colour tinge of purple?. Sky view has 2 purple dots above this galaxy. Is it the camera, because this isn't the first time I encountered this. The other one was with AGZ00AUXP. Which also has purple spots spread everywhere. Also AGZ000AWDU.

  Sorry, I am not seeing purple spots. There is a lot of spots everywhere on the image, this is background noise, which happens often when distant galaxies are imaged. These galaxies are a combination of about 17 second images. If a galaxy needs further study, then a telescope could be assigned to look at it for an hour, to get a good image. Hubble Space Telescope does this, but Hubble can only look at a thousand places in a year, and there are about a billion galaxies that we could look at.
