Artifact or ... ?

  • ParticleMan by ParticleMan

    There are two objects in this picture that are remarkably similar. Bottom left is what appears to be a star in front of a massive blue galaxy, and middle right the same blue smudge on the top right of what also looks like a foreground star.

    Are these #artifact or #lens, or something else entirely?

    You are correct with artifact - these images are highly processed, so you tend to find the same processing 'errors' occurring on similar objects.

    In this case the objects are both stars 😃
