Green Star

This only shows up in r band and there is only 1 image in r band.

I found this just like it earlier in Virgo

another nearby in Scorpius

there’s actually two. maybe a clue to what this is… moving?

I’m highly sure that this is an asteroid. I’ll look it up in JPL

I have posted several from different constellations and I find more than I post.. I wish I had a better way of collating them and other objects like Spectral Class K0 stars and nebulae.

Did that work in JPL? Lately I feel like I have failed to find things using the JPL search link. It would be great to figure out how to automate use of the Minor Planet Center tools…

The “direct link to JPL query” works but it did not specify anything at the position. I’ve only did this once. Not sure if it works on DR11 but it seems to work on other data releases…

I appreciate you trying to find out. It is a target rich environment and DR11 is new enough to be flush with new sights.
