Initial image similar to 4-point star

I've noticed some samples where the initial image has the appearance of a 4-point star, then quickly becomes more roundish. Would these be good candidates or is that initial appearance a bad sign?

Like this http://talk.diskdetective.org/#/subjects/AWI00005u3 ?
Those can still be good candidates, the four points is an artifact of the telescope itself, not the object

I found a few of those too. On the bigger sized ones i thought I could make out structure in the object. In any case I nixed those because the "ray" artifacts were well outside the circle. Sorry bout that!
