Issue- when plotting a grid of images, stars and images outside the SDSS database appear, this can cause confusion if the user was only anticipating images of galaxies.
New feature- Ability to only retrieve images of galaxies when using image.get_random()- potentially a new feature called image,.get_random_galaxies() that only returns galaxy images with their plateifu displayed on top of the image.
Alternative solution- Selecting galaxies using MaNGA targeting bitmasks- this could potentially be confusing for students as the grid of images is intended for an introductory MARVIN tutorial
Additional context- Grid of random images supplied below
Thankyou!
