Is the neighbor an asteroid?

    In my experience, the color sequence in SDSS asteroids is green-red-blue (see below, AGZ0004o2d, for example); in this image, there's no red, but yellow instead.

    Looks like an asteroid to me. 😄 Could be that the red bit looks a bit yellowish because it is a bright one.
