    hi ian,

    usually you don't see multiple objects everywhere in 2MASS and WISE images because the central source is several magnitudes brighter than nearby objects.
    here the central source is faint.

    another situation you may have seen is the central source disappearing next to a brighter one.

    it's just a matter of relative brightness.

    cheers
