    Hi tartamuta and welcome to the Milky Way Project

    An EGO is an extended green object.

    Here's the link to the Guide

    and this is what it says :

    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.

    If you do a search with 'EGO' or 'ego' here in Talk you can see what other people think are ego's.

    Happy hunting ! 😄
