    What SDSS sees as "objects" on the spikes centered on the stars are almost certainly #artifacts.

    Sometimes SDSS also marks "objects" in the bright glare (like a halo) around bright stars, just like the one in the center of the first image. Sometimes these objects are real - stars or galaxies - but more often they too are #artifacts.

    Hope this helps! 😃
