• by Dolorous_Edd

  It is me or SDSS J000043.82+121608.3 has some sort of green glowing on the sides?
  Frankly, looks like an artifact

  I'd go for artifact as well. Some other objects in the neighborhood have some green shadows as well, but not as marked as this one.

  Thanks! Can you help me with this one? SDSS J233512.35+174150.3

  Looks like an ETG, but IMHO green

  

  Post-starbust galaxy?

  It's a strange one. Not sure if it is a galaxy though. Some of the stars in this image are greenish as well. And it is very round ! 😄
  But I'd love to be wrong !

  Don't think it is a star, rather on these

  We so need a spectrum ! 😄 As I said, I'd love to be wrong ! 😄

  Alas,you are right , without spectrum it is pure guesswork.
  Anyway, thanks for the help!
