  #starforming, the blue spot isn't on the SDSS or Simbad. Could be a SN or Artifact ?

  Doesn't look like artifact to me, not familiar with handling GAMA data atm

  Sometimes supernovae can appear as blue spots in GAMA images because the different band images are obtained at different times.

  I see, where can I obtain the GAMA (FITS) files used to create the GZ images, or from this particular area? Thanks

  Hmm, not in SDSS or PanSTARRS. Either a supernova or artifact.

  or a very slow asterod. A transient of some sort.

  You can observe this galaxy as imaged in multiple surveys at http://gama-psi.icrar.org/psi.php. You need the GAMA CATAID to look it up.

  I agree, this most likely looks like a supernova. Strong signal in VST KiDS g and r bands. Nothing in KiDS r and i bands.

  Thank you Dr. Kelvin, much appreciated!

  Minor correction; strong in VSTKIDS u and g, maybe in r but likely not and not in i. ugr image; https://i.imgur.com/aVaxeRr.png
