Blue blobs

    Quite a few of the images have blue blobs - like in this case. What are they? Do they need to be recorded as something odd?

    When you are classifying, there is no correct answer. Different people will classify different ways, and that indicates that the object is hard to classfiy 😃

    The blue blobs are starforming areas
