    How come there is no data for this image within the SDSS footprint. Prominent in image itself! In WISE this seems to be a WAT.
    Are there some images out of reach for the SLOAN at the time? They still make it into the batch though.

    Just curious!

    The sky coverage of SDSS is not the same as that of FIRST; specifically, SDSS avoids the (Milky Way) galactic plane but FIRST does not. There's a nice graphic showing the SDSS sky coverage somewhere, but I have been unable to find it just now (I'm not in my "home" computing environment); it will likely show this part of the sky is outside the SDSS footprint.

    Hope this helps, and happy hunting! 😃

    Aha, thanks Jean,

    Got it! 
