Hi shocko61
Here's what's in the guide about these EGO's
EGO EXAMPLES
Extended green objects (EGOs) are small, irregular blobs of green. You may see them near bright stars, but they can also appear more isolated. They are quite rare and they are a special find: in fact, they were first identified in the images from this survey. There is much work being done by researchers to find and understand these objects.Posted

So, Elisabeth, the green stuff near stars are EGO as well? I thought those were artifacts, but I'll start marking them as EGO if that's the case.

I'm really not sure if these fuzzy green blobs/rings near bright stars are EGO's or artifacts. I was just copying what is in the Guide ! Will try and contact the science team ! 😄 .

Got a reply from Rob
So the green left of the bright star (left) is an artifact. But it probably will get lots of classifications as an ego as well. I'll tag them as artifacts from now on.

Thanks, Elizabeth. Maybe we should find an example of this and post it so it shows up in the Recent section for people to see?
