Unusual blue area in another galaxy west of this one

• by bluemagi

  When I classified this galaxy and took a look at the sdss I spotted another galaxy west of this at between 3:00-4:00 within the galaxy at RA:302.69714 DEC:-11.64541 is a strange blue area. I think this could be an artifact but I'd like to make sure. So I would appreciate someone having a look. Thanks, bluemagi

  It looks like the blue-white of starforming areas. Gravitational lensed quasars are a brighter blue, and AGN illuminated clouds are a darker blue or hot pink.
