Object seems very different in AladinLite view in SIMBAD

• by biggsjrex moderator

  The AladinLite view of this object in SIMBAD shows a very prominent star at this postion, unlike the DSS2 Blue and DSS2 Red images. Usually the AladinLite view is a much better match for the DSS2 images. Was wondering why the difference in this case.

  Are you sure you're not looking at 2MASS image in AladinLite? DSS image is similar.

  Yes, Cedric is right. Change to DSS at the bottom of the image 😃

  You're both right - sorry for failing to notice the obvious.
