    Hi, This galaxy is not on the sdss in the mid photo its way bottom left. The sdss does list a galaxy there when there isn't one. Strange one! cheers, bluemagi

    Strange, haven't seen that one before.

    RA: 173.33345 DEC: -5.08813 Galaxy Zoo target co-ordinates are correct.

    SDSS are incorrect.

    Maybe it fell through the cracks in the field images and didn't get an ObjID.
