I was surprised Tom didn't see it or know the reason for it being there. |
I don't think it is a cosmic ray hit. I downloaded off the internet different versions of Omega Centauri taken by other other imagers. After aligning them in Registar my "green star" aligns perfectly with a star in their image. It is not a cosmic ray hit or it would be much more random in location and shape. That said, I do think that is it likely to be just an artifact of processing. Hot pixel likely overlying the star I'd bet. Median combine was used.
