Artifact or Asteroid

  • wrenoud by wrenoud

    I was unsure how best to mark this set. There is an object which appears in slide 2. It is not a pixel blowout, it definitely has the characteristics of a distant object but otherwise I have no way to contextualize it.

    This does not fit withing the guidance on how to characterize an asteroid, and the guidance basically indicates to mark as an artifact if all else fails. Would it have been better to flag this as an asteroid? Are false positives OK? Or will artifacts be sufficiently reviewed, so flagging it as such will get it in front of more discerning eyes?
