Revisiting already classified picture

  • Drabber by Drabber

    I have labelled something as an artefact, but how do I revisit it to perhaps change it to asteroid? I am not sure about it, but this picture shows something odd at about 10 o'clock. It looks like movement - sort of. It may be better if I reclassified it as asteroid rather than artefact, then someone else can take a look at it.

    That is interesting - as washed out as this is (due to the star bleed) - that looks like a bad column is being moved over the image of the star. If you look, the decrease in brightness is very sharp - a single line. Normally the background would be bright enough that the line was obvious - but here's an example where it isn't.

    Nice find!

    The thing at 10 o'clock is caused by "telephone wires". Vertical lines that jump horizontally, see http://youtu.be/qtQ7w-d9BhU?t=31m50s for an example. In this set they are hardly visible because of under exposure caused by the light flood of the star bleed.
