    Is centered in SDSS. On spectrum it says Target: white dwarf, class it says Star WD.

    Yes, well then either DECaLS / GZ image is off, or its a hyper-velocity WD.

    I call Occam's Razor 😃

    Could be a white dwarf with a high proper motion. It's looks more centred in the SDSS image. Shouldn't be in this set of targets though. 😦

    Unfortunately cz 51 +/- 53 km/s isn't very precise 😃

    Edit: Hmm confusing proper motion with peculiar velocity... 😕
