Not round enough for a star, I think. Looks featureless and blue/starforming. #blue_elliptical ? Interesting purplish colour on one side.
Thanks ๐
I'm wondering why a cloud with such an interesting, pink colour in DECaLS can look so dull (and disappointing) in SDSS.
DECaLS DR 5: http://legacysurvey.org/viewer?ra=215.1335&dec=2.0643&zoom=16&layer=decals-dr5
Interesting pink cloud at 16:00 outside the big galaxy (AGN) in DECaLS. See link:
In Viking_K band there is a small protuberance to the right, I think.
No idea. Mysterious. The spot is slightly oblong in DECaLS and Pan-STARRS, less so in GAMA, the survey with the highest resolution.

In SDSS the spot at the bottom of the galaxy stretches out a long way to the right of the galaxy. See:
Candidate #collisional-ring galaxy with a starforming ring.
#collisional-ring? It looks as if a tilting galaxy is half way into a widening ring.

This GAMA object has a classific pea spectrum (very flat spectrum with a high Olll peak) z=0.06. In between blue and purple in distance?

Three interacting galaxies. The one to the right, which is an AGN has an interesting cloud below it. See the zoomed out image: :

I suppose the green patch in SDSS to the right of the big galaxy must be an artifact. Nothing in other surveys.
DECaLS DR5: http://legacysurvey.org/viewer?ra=222.9174&dec=-1.1981&zoom=16&layer=decals-dr5
I wonder what the mysterious patch above the galaxy nucleus can be. It doesn't look like an overlap. The galaxy is an AGN.
#bi-coloured in SDSS as well.
I don't know if it's any rarer, but I must remember the hyphen ๐
It could be a #collisional_ring.
It's a galaxy: #purple_pea, z=0.05 with a pea-like spectrum in NED.

Agree. This is just one object. The blue dots are starforming areas in the galaxy.

The white dot in the very centre, to the left of the galaxy nucleus must be a star.
Difficult to say without spectrum or redshift. The galaxy doesn't look too purple.
Well, time will tell...
What about a lopsided ringed galaxy?
I thought of that too actually, but maybe the ring is too blurred ....'full'? Especially in your link ๐
The blue 'band' is an artifact caused by the nearby out of frame star to the left.

#lopsided with two crossing arms. A blue 'hot subdwarf' to the right in the zoomed out image:
Yes, probably interacting with the galaxy to the left which has a similar redshift.
They seem to appear quite often in our images right now.
Yes, you're right. I didn't think of that.
The blue star is also present in DECaLS SDSS images. Strange then that it isn't visible in SDSS SkyServer!

No, these objects will never collide, since the bright star from our galaxy to the right is much nearer to us than the faraway galaxy.

The one which was mentioned: catalogue id ATS 2004, whatever that is.
Yes, just a smudge or the ubiquitous cosmic ray hit.
Oh, another one ๐ Have you looked it up in that catalogue?
It's not in PanSTARRS either. If it had been something it would probably show up in the other surveys. This is a mystery!
I'm afraid there's nothing in DECaLS, so it can't be a Voorwerp I suppose ๐ฆ
It looks exciting, but it's difficult to know what colour a Voorwerp is in that survey.
You probably mean AGZ000e5br
Sorry for being a 'fusspot', but isn't the blue object an asteroid? ๐

The dot isn't visible in other surveys, but it's probably too dim to show up in images less sharp than those in GAMA.

This Seyfert 1 galaxy has an unusual colouring in SDSS. Lower half of it is magenta coloured. Almost looks like a separate object.
I'm afraid it isn't. For a pea the OIII peak should be the dominant feature in the spectrum ๐
Is it possible for a SN to appear at such a long distance from a galaxy?
Those 5 small sharp dots, 2 blue and 3 brown ones must be cosmic ray hits. For some reason we've had a lot of those lately.
Yes, I see that now. I wonder why?
A click on the object in SIMBAD leads you to a different red object in Aladin L.with a strange spectrum. Same z as that of original object.
Perhaps the first part of an asteroid-trail.
Not in PanSTARRS either or SDSS. Such an even, oblong object couldn't possibly be a cosmic ray hit?

Strange patch to the right of the galaxy:
Magenta colour in SDSS below the galaxy which is an AGN. #voorwerp candidate?
The Seyfert 1 galaxy to the right of the central galaxy has two light magenta coloured areas opposite each other. #voorwerp candidate?
Most galaxies have a blue colour in GAMA. The right one is starforming. The left one must be non-starforming, that's why it's white in SDSS.
...although the core of the galaxy is only one photometric object.
Postmerger galaxy. Binary system. 2 different spectra, similar z's in NED. I suppose the white dot in the center is a star...

There seem to be two galaxies merging(same z).The strange thing is that the left one is very white in SDSS but blue in DECaLS and PanSTARRS:
If this Seyfert galaxy is a Voorwerp candidate, what about the very similar AGN AGZ000dxf6?

This is a single object. It has a red patch in SDSS. A weak AGN? See link:
....Can't be an artifact / transient since it's visible in SDSS SkyServer, another survey.
The blue object is very dim in SkyServer, maybe that's why it's not visible in SDSS g, which is rather a grainy image.....
The blue dot must be a #transient, since it's not visible in SDSS or DECaLS.
OK ๐ but come to think of it, objects sometimes look very blue in GAMA images e.g. asteroids.
It's difficult to say what the blue cloud is, but it can't be an artifact because it's visible in both SDSS and DECaLS.

The three objects might be two distant galaxies and a star (the one to the right) They are more blurred than the galaxy in the center.
The bright red colour of the nucleus could be caused by dust. The galaxy is in a NED paper on dust-obscured galaxies.

In the future I'd better not use too many pixels when looking for transients in P. I have to abbreviate. I only have 140 characters ๐

I chose image size:1000 pixels and JPEG display size:1024 pixels in Pan-STARRS1, but with those settings the dot can't be seen. Strange!
Yes, possible #transient. There is no sign of the object in Pan-STARRS, but the dot may be too faint to show up there.
Image misalignment? Other objects look the same.
It doesn't look like a separate object, I meant. But of course GAMA has more resolution, so a round object would become a blur in SDSS.

#collisional_ring candidate? Perhaps the round object is a galaxy passing through the center of another larger galaxy.
You're right. In NED notes they call your 'starry ring' - 'long streamer north-following', 'interaction' and 'evidently a double'.
The blue dots are artifacts. They are quite common in GAMA images.

As far as I can see the big pink patch is visible in your Pan-STARRS link - between the large galaxy and the small one.
Voorwerp candidate? I think one can see other pink patches at 19:00 and 17:00.
Sorry, I meant behind the Zone of Avoidance of the Milky Way ๐
#beautiful Behind the Milky Way?
Asteroids in GAMA seem to look like this, see AGZ000dvjl.
The blue colour is probably an artifact of poorly stacked images. Other objects in the neighbourhood look the same.
There seems to be a large dust cloud below the galaxy, which probably contributes to making the galaxy reddish.
I think a blue dotted line in GAMA images is an #asteroid.
Very small #companion at 19:00.
The bright object in the middle of the blue spiral is indeed a foreground star. One can clearly see the diffraction spikes.

You are right. I typed ra, dec into SDSS DR 13 and got this image: No, I couldn't send it. I'm sure somebody else can ๐
I thought it might be a molecular cloud, but in DECaLS it looks the same everywhere. Artifact?
Must be #merger. The galaxies look disturbed and the redshifts are very similar: z=0.11940 and Z=0.11948.
I can't see any artifacts. But looks like #double_nucleus.
Funny the way the 'nearby' satellite trail looks as if it is behind the faraway galaxy!

It looks as if there is an interaction with the small galaxy to the left.
No, this is a single #bi-coloured galaxy.
No, too olong for a star in DECaLS. Probably a galaxy then, but the colour is unusually red for a galaxy.
Yes, a known gravitational lens system. Nice find!
Strange dark red patch to the left of the galaxy. Looks like a foreground star in DECaLS.
The bright blue colour isn't an artifact. The galaxy is very blue in DECaLS and Pan-STARRS as well.

NGC 7217 There is a high level of star formation in the ring.
Redshifts are available: The central galaxy has z=0.0435 and the edgeon z=0.0441. Z'ds are similar, which indicates a fairly close distance.

This is a compact group of galaxies with similar z'ds and #tidal_debris. The edgeon has strange colours with magenta at the bottom tip.
Amazing that you could do that! ๐
If you use the 'navigate' button in SDSS Skyserver, you'll see that the two objects mentioned are labelled 'star'.
We don't use 'ovelap' when a star is overlapping a galaxy.
Your first exampel here is a foreground star. The second one is probably just a starforming part of the galaxy arm.
The spherical galaxies you mention are foreground stars from our galaxy. But I see an edgeon at 15:00 which is a nice #overlap ๐
Yes this looks like an #overlap.
@josefajardo: overlap is when a part of a galaxy is in front of another galaxy.
The 'green stripe' could be a distant edgeon.
Seems to be a quasar candidate.
Perhaps a star is partly superimposed on the nucleus. A small edgeon seems to be overlapping at 8 o'clock.

These two blue peas have very similar redshifts. The left one is an AGN. There is some magenta colour between them.

You're right, the other dots were smaller with a sharp edge, but not square I think. It's mostly the colour which is the same.
#overlap. The streak must be an edgeon in front of or behind the galaxy in the center.
The galaxy in the center has no connection with the big one to the left. The two redshifts are quite different.
I think it's an artifact. I've seen these dots, though smaller, in GAMA images earlier.They have all had this special bright blue colour.

Yes, you're right, but all DECaLS Residual images look very weird to me. Impossible to decipher.
A star at 1:00 (not very interesting ๐ ) and an edgeon at 11:00.
It can't be tidal debris, because the rest of the galaxy is perfectly even - pristine, as you say. Must be an overlapping galaxy/edgeon.

Strangely enough SIMBAD calls one of the nuclei a star. Maybe that's why whoever wrote note 1 in NED got it all wrong ๐

What you see in the center is a dust lane. This is NGC 3656, a #shell elliptical. Belongs to the 'Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies'.
#beautiful galaxy with very pronounced arms.
This is Mrk 1030
It's Mrk 587. I think it has a #nuclear_ring.
The zoomed out picture looks interesting!
The bright spot is a star. The galaxy is Mrk 1497
According to NED it's a #polar ring
According to NED it is a #polar ring galaxy. Nice find!
NGC 3448 II has a population of starburst-associated radio sources.
Unusual tidal tails
A #beautiful #shell galaxy.
The blue spiral is UGC 5146. It's one of the galaxies in 'The Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies'.
The small, blue dot to the left of the star is probably a dwarf galaxy.
#polar ring galaxy A0136-0801 is among the first four SO galaxies that were identified as polar-ring galaxies.
It's NGC 660, a rare #polar ring galaxy. Worth looking up in Google!
Your dog looks at you in the dark.
Sorry, but to count as a double_dust, the galaxy must be an elliptical ๐ See the link to the left.
#overlap Seems to be an edgeon (z=0.053) in front of a spiral galaxy (PhotoZ=0.088 zErr=0.019).
also known as Arp 147. The main ring contains nine bright X-ray sources which are black holes.
#x-shaped with the tips of the 'x' bending inwards forming the figure 8.
Perhaps this is a #nuclear_ring?
#overlap. The galaxy in the center is the nearest (z=0.040). The other two next to that one are farther away but closer to each other.
HII galaxy
#beautiful with inner ring and long arms
The orange band is a dustlane. #double_dust
Two starburst galaxies with the same z=0.033, probably just starting to interact.
Beautiful galaxy-pair possibly starting to merge.
Colourful artifact!

1/2 Both the green and the red dot are missing in SDSS. Maybe it's an asteroid but the blue filter didn't work.
Sorry to be a spoilsport! Galaxies are either ellipticals or spirals ๐
The blue cloud at the bottom seems to be an HI region in the Virgo cluster according to NED references.
The same HII -galaxy which is below the biggest galaxy to the right in AGZ000bmt6.

Correct! And I can't see any mergers in this image. There are no distortions.
The zoomed out view reveals a beautiful galaxy to the left.
These galaxies don't look disturbed so I would choose #overlap
#voorwerpje
I would guess #overlap here. The colours are different as well as the redshifts.
#x-shaped (vaguely).
2/2 The top one with an unavailable z, looks disturbed and could be interacting with one ot the other galaxies.
1/2 The two bottom galaxies have different redshifts and are overlapping.
#purple_pea
#beautiful galaxy with a #double_ring and two elongated arms.
Looks like a separate object. SDSS says it's a star, but the shape is oval so it's probably a distant galaxy. So #overlap.
There's a faint, red 'squiggle' round the central galaxy and between the three smaller galaxies to the right of it.
It's a flying saucer.
Yes, probably an #overlap since the galaxy and the fake 'arm' have different redshifts.
#double_dust (at the top)
#merger if I ever saw one.
#quasar
Very interesting shape! I'll ask about it in 'Science'.
#merger - both galaxies look distorted
It's a foreground star from our own galaxy.
The clumps are starforming areas in this starburst galaxy.
There is no merger here, because the smaller green object to the right is a foreground star from our galaxy.
These objects are two overlapping galaxies.
Agree - this is a spiral.
#elliptical
#merger with disturbed, interacting galaxies and similar redshifts
#blue_pea z 0.055
In DECaLS DR3 residuals one can see the other component whatever that can be.
I got this image for the second time.

1/2 The bright object is an oversaturated foreground star from our galaxy.
A spiral with arms and starformation
There are lots of features in this one - a spiral
This is a two-armed spiral
There are faint arms in it so it's a spiral galaxy. Ellipticals have no details whatsoever.
Probably from an earlier encounter.
Violent merger with a lot of tidal debris.
@Binkybunny: The red line at the top of the image is an artifact.
Not at present I think, but maybe in the future if we tag it with #wrong_size.
Galaxy cluster
#beautiful spiral with very elongated arms
Edgeon with a dustlane and a big #halo
The brownish streak is a dustlane.
One can't see any disturbance between the three galaxies, the redshift (distance) is different, so #overlap.
Prominent bar
Surely, it has to be either an elliptical or a spiral, one can't have a mixture of both!
Agree. Looks like merger. Both galaxies look disturbed and the redshifts are the same.
Nice #double_ring
2/2 The two objects are too far apart.
1/2 The bright, green object next to the galaxy in the centre is a foreground star from our galaxy, so it can't be a merger.
This is a merger between two galaxies. Look at the comments below.
#merger The top ones look a bit disturbed to me and all three redshifts are rather similar, aren't they?
Fine #dustlane. #double_dust (towards the bottom of the galaxy).
1/2 Perhaps the PhotoZ was contaminated by the background galaxy?
1/1 The object in the middle, which we are supposed to classify, looks like a star, but is listed as a galaxy in SDSS.
Maybe this galaxy is an #elliptical and the "arms" just foreground stars?
Here we have another little green dot looking like a supernova but alas, it's probably just an artifact.
#wrong_size To me the spirals look disturbed so I clicked #merger
Interesting, close #merger
Two overlapping spirals in two colours. The blue starforming one is the nearest.
What does WD mean, please?
Possible #triple_merger. I think the galaxies look disturbed.
This galaxy really looks like an AGN with it's violent appearance and dominant core!
Galaxy with very long, starforming arms which almost makes a ring
Very unevenly distributed #tidal_debris
Strange, I got it back. #beautiful #dailyzoo
Fine image of an #overlap
Probably a starforming area. It's blueish in SDSS and there is a similar one in the lower arm.
#wrong_size Perhaps #quadruple_merger
@mart9911 To me it looks as if there is another galaxy behind the one in the centre.
#supernova (SN 2013hl) at 11 o'clock
#unusual narrow bar
To me it looks like two small galaxies in #overlap with the main object
Amusing chance alignment: looks like a tadpole with a tail of stars
#lenticular
#unusual with arms outside the ring
Odd galaxy, very fuzzy and dim. Perhaps it's a low-surface-brightness galaxy, #LSB?
The object in the middle looks slightly oval-shaped to me, so perhaps it's a galaxy after all.
Looks beautiful in a zoomed-out picture!
1/2 Impossible to check in SDSS.
1/1 The object in the centre is a #spiral. @ elsie22, I would guess #overlap, but it's difficult to see when the image is so small.

Ellipticals like this one look quite serene!
#beautiful #shell galaxy
@Chinabob: In SDSS the dot is listed as a supernova (from 2005), but since it is visible in DECaLS as well, something must be wrong!
Worth looking at in DECaLS SkyViewer!
Amusing ring of ellipticals!
Yes, it looks like a multiple merger. One can even see a confirmed supernova (green dot ) at 4 o'clock!

#triple_merger
Elliptical with blue starformation round it
Looks like an #asteroid. Can't be seen in SDSS. It's a transient, moving object, so it wouldn't show up in another survey

I'm wondering why a cloud with such an interesting, pink colour in DECaLS can look so dull (and disappointing) in SDSS.
DECaLS DR 5: http://legacysurvey.org/viewer?ra=215.1335&dec=2.0643&zoom=16&layer=decals-dr5
Interesting pink cloud at 16:00 outside the big galaxy (AGN) in DECaLS. See link:
In Viking_K band there is a small protuberance to the right, I think.
No idea. Mysterious. The spot is slightly oblong in DECaLS and Pan-STARRS, less so in GAMA, the survey with the highest resolution.

#lopsided with two crossing arms. A blue 'hot subdwarf' to the right in the zoomed out image:
Yes, probably interacting with the galaxy to the left which has a similar redshift.
They seem to appear quite often in our images right now.
Yes, you're right. I didn't think of that.
The blue star is also present in DECaLS SDSS images. Strange then that it isn't visible in SDSS SkyServer!

A beautiful and intricate maze of spiral arms.
A slight #jet? southwards.
#zooniverselogo
No, these objects will never collide, since the bright star from our galaxy to the right is much nearer to us than the faraway galaxy.

The one which was mentioned: catalogue id ATS 2004, whatever that is.
Yes, just a smudge or the ubiquitous cosmic ray hit.
Oh, another one ๐ Have you looked it up in that catalogue?
It's not in PanSTARRS either. If it had been something it would probably show up in the other surveys. This is a mystery!
I'm afraid there's nothing in DECaLS, so it can't be a Voorwerp I suppose ๐ฆ
It looks exciting, but it's difficult to know what colour a Voorwerp is in that survey.
You probably mean AGZ000e5br
Sorry for being a 'fusspot', but isn't the blue object an asteroid? ๐

The dot isn't visible in other surveys, but it's probably too dim to show up in images less sharp than those in GAMA.

This Seyfert 1 galaxy has an unusual colouring in SDSS. Lower half of it is magenta coloured. Almost looks like a separate object.
I'm afraid it isn't. For a pea the OIII peak should be the dominant feature in the spectrum ๐
Is it possible for a SN to appear at such a long distance from a galaxy?
Those 5 small sharp dots, 2 blue and 3 brown ones must be cosmic ray hits. For some reason we've had a lot of those lately.
Yes, I see that now. I wonder why?
A click on the object in SIMBAD leads you to a different red object in Aladin L.with a strange spectrum. Same z as that of original object.
Perhaps the first part of an asteroid-trail.
Not in PanSTARRS either or SDSS. Such an even, oblong object couldn't possibly be a cosmic ray hit?
An #asteroid is approaching in the left hand top corner.

Strange patch to the right of the galaxy:
Magenta colour in SDSS below the galaxy which is an AGN. #voorwerp candidate?
The Seyfert 1 galaxy to the right of the central galaxy has two light magenta coloured areas opposite each other. #voorwerp candidate?
Most galaxies have a blue colour in GAMA. The right one is starforming. The left one must be non-starforming, that's why it's white in SDSS.
...although the core of the galaxy is only one photometric object.
Postmerger galaxy. Binary system. 2 different spectra, similar z's in NED. I suppose the white dot in the center is a star...

There seem to be two galaxies merging(same z).The strange thing is that the left one is very white in SDSS but blue in DECaLS and PanSTARRS:
If this Seyfert galaxy is a Voorwerp candidate, what about the very similar AGN AGZ000dxf6?

This is a single object. It has a red patch in SDSS. A weak AGN?
See link:
....Can't be an artifact / transient since it's visible in SDSS SkyServer, another survey.
The blue object is very dim in SkyServer, maybe that's why it's not visible in SDSS g, which is rather a grainy image.....
#pseudo_ring
The blue dot must be a #transient, since it's not visible in SDSS or DECaLS.
OK ๐ but come to think of it, objects sometimes look very blue in GAMA images e.g. asteroids.
It's difficult to say what the blue cloud is, but it can't be an artifact because it's visible in both SDSS and DECaLS.

This is a singel galaxy probably interacting with the galaxy below. Similar redshifts. The blue objects at 7:00 are starforming regions.
I thought the object in the center was a star, but it's a galaxy with a redshift rather similar to that of the galaxy behind.
#merger Disturbed galaxies with similar redshifts.

Strange magenta dot (in SDSS) at the top of the upper galaxy. Starforming area? The two galaxies have very similar redshifts:
A ringed galaxy with a small gap in the ring?
It's pretty but not arc-like ๐
The three objects might be two distant galaxies and a star (the one to the right) They are more blurred than the galaxy in the center.
The bright red colour of the nucleus could be caused by dust. The galaxy is in a NED paper on dust-obscured galaxies.
Pretty ragged for an arc ๐
What about a #collisional_ring galaxy? It's empty in the middle. The 'culprit' might be the one to the left. They seem to be interacting.

The blue, uneven band across the galaxy is #tidal_debris from the pair galaxy to the left:
#nuclear_ring (starformation round the nucleus).
My guess is #overlap. The galaxy looks rather undisturbed.
This galaxy is in a NED paper on #extraplanar_gas and their host galaxies. Good find!
In the future I'd better not use too many pixels when looking for transients in P. I have to abbreviate. I only have 140 characters ๐
One would have thought the more pixels the better ๐
I chose image size:1000 pixels and JPEG display size:1024 pixels in Pan-STARRS1, but with those settings the dot can't be seen. Strange!
Yes, possible #transient. There is no sign of the object in Pan-STARRS, but the dot may be too faint to show up there.
Image misalignment? Other objects look the same.
It doesn't look like a separate object, I meant. But of course GAMA has more resolution, so a round object would become a blur in SDSS.

NED note 1: Faint companion in contact near the western edge.
#white_arms
#collisional_ring candidate? Perhaps the round object is a galaxy passing through the center of another larger galaxy.
You're right. In NED notes they call your 'starry ring' - 'long streamer north-following', 'interaction' and 'evidently a double'.
The blue dots are artifacts. They are quite common in GAMA images.

Sorry, I meant behind the Zone of Avoidance of the Milky Way ๐
#beautiful Behind the Milky Way?
Asteroids in GAMA seem to look like this, see AGZ000dvjl.
The blue colour is probably an artifact of poorly stacked images. Other objects in the neighbourhood look the same.
There seems to be a large dust cloud below the galaxy, which probably contributes to making the galaxy reddish.
I think a blue dotted line in GAMA images is an #asteroid.
Very small #companion at 19:00.
The bright object in the middle of the blue spiral is indeed a foreground star. One can clearly see the diffraction spikes.
#ZOAG Zone of avoidance galaxy (obscured by the Milky Way).
Looks like it. Interesting #overlap at 10:00 with small galaxy which is very red in SkyServer.
Blue blob and the streak are both present in DECaLS and probably in SDSS as well, since the shape there is quite round. #overlap?
You are right. I typed ra, dec into SDSS DR 13 and got this image:
No, I couldn't send it. I'm sure somebody else can ๐
I thought it might be a molecular cloud, but in DECaLS it looks the same everywhere. Artifact?
Must be #merger. The galaxies look disturbed and the redshifts are very similar: z=0.11940 and Z=0.11948.
I can't see any artifacts. But looks like #double_nucleus.
Funny the way the 'nearby' satellite trail looks as if it is behind the faraway galaxy!

Amazing that you could do that! ๐
If you use the 'navigate' button in SDSS Skyserver, you'll see that the two objects mentioned are labelled 'star'.
We don't use 'ovelap' when a star is overlapping a galaxy.
Your first exampel here is a foreground star. The second one is probably just a starforming part of the galaxy arm.
The spherical galaxies you mention are foreground stars from our galaxy. But I see an edgeon at 15:00 which is a nice #overlap ๐
Yes this looks like an #overlap.
@josefajardo: overlap is when a part of a galaxy is in front of another galaxy.
The 'green stripe' could be a distant edgeon.

You're right, the other dots were smaller with a sharp edge, but not square I think. It's mostly the colour which is the same.
#overlap. The streak must be an edgeon in front of or behind the galaxy in the center.
The galaxy in the center has no connection with the big one to the left. The two redshifts are quite different.
I think it's an artifact. I've seen these dots, though smaller, in GAMA images earlier.They have all had this special bright blue colour.

Yes, you're right, but all DECaLS Residual images look very weird to me. Impossible to decipher.
A star at 1:00 (not very interesting ๐ ) and an edgeon at 11:00.
It can't be tidal debris, because the rest of the galaxy is perfectly even - pristine, as you say. Must be an overlapping galaxy/edgeon.

Odd galaxy, very fuzzy and dim. Perhaps it's a low-surface-brightness galaxy, #LSB?
The object in the middle looks slightly oval-shaped to me, so perhaps it's a galaxy after all.
Looks beautiful in a zoomed-out picture!

Here is one more example of a galaxy with a core which has a different colour in two separate surveys. In SDSS the core is very blue.

@Chinabob: In SDSS the dot is listed as a supernova (from 2005), but since it is visible in DECaLS as well, something must be wrong!
Worth looking at in DECaLS SkyViewer!

Looks like an #asteroid. Can't be seen in SDSS. It's a transient, moving object, so it wouldn't show up in another survey

How did the tadpoles get in here?

I think that the blue colour is an artifact. The star above has the same colour. A pity one can't get at the zoomed-out image.
