Disk Detective Talk

Still trying to figure out what some of the images mean.

    A number of these objects don't show as more than a dark spot in the higher 2 or 3 frequencies (Shorter wave). others seem like a collection of suns in the higher freqs. I'm not always sure if that means they are multiple objects or if that is an effect of the scope/sensors.

    Hi BCJones, welcome to Disk Detective! What you see in DSS2 Blue image is just detector noise. More detailed explanation is here: http://blog.diskdetective.org/2015/03/05/the-disk-detective-faq FAQ no 12. We don't count the black spots as multiple objects; however, there seems to be multiple objects appear in both DSS2 Red and DSS2 IR, they are very faint though.
