    What is the center image that is colorized?

    It's an "over-exposed" star, a kind of optical artifact caused by the camera being 'overloaded' with light.

    Pretty cool, eh? Scientifically, however, it has no value (for this project at least).

    Happy hunting! 😃

    Hi and welcome @lea2319 😃

    As mentioned it is an over-exposed foreground star. Classify it as a star / artifact and it will get removed from the dataset.

    Thanks for your clicks!
