Glitches

  • Lochnivar by Lochnivar

    All,

    I know there is a list of glitches, however, this doesn't do much good when you're trying to classify online. You can't see the identifier until you've classified the image, only then do you realize that the transit you marked is a known glitch. So, the question becomes, how to differentiate between a transit and a glitch while reviewing "live" data? If it's a known date, then can we have those dates marked on the data we are to classify?

    It's disappointing to "find" a transit, only to find on the next page that it's a glitch.
