  Do you see that green blob in the middle of image? I can't find any info about it. Is it some kind of artifact (Optical Ghosts) or is it something like Hanny's Voorwerp?

  EDIT: Nevermind, apparently it's an optical ghost

  Yes, it is like the green gas clouds that were found in Galaxy Zoo. Perhaps this 's why there isn't info
