First Image @ DSS2 Blue (0.665 μm)

• by Kevin_Balding

  Many of the first images (DSS2 Blue (0.665 μm)) appear below and to the left of the cross, and have a halo which is not round. however in this image the brightest part of the image (the white part in the lower left quadrant of the cross) does appear round. I would classify this as none of the above / good candidate, should i be classifying it as not round in DSS2 because of the first image?

  I think you are right to label good candidate for this guy, the DSS2 images are round-ISH, and a lot of the really not-round features seem to be of similar brightness as the background noise... so you can't totally trust those not-round bits, especially in 2MASS. It a tough call, but I'd still say its pretty good.
