Sugested Reading for Classifying Gama Objects?

  This grouping was interesting; it wasn't clear to me on Skyserver etc which object was to be classified!

  The software doesn't realize that that the bright thing is a star, it thinks that it is the brightest part of the galaxy, which is usually the nucleus. That is why human eyes are needed to classify galaxies. Just classify the galaxy behind the star.

  It is amazing how much better the GAMA - KiDS image is than SDSS
