Annotations for mix type matches written incorrectly #122

For example:

https://star.pst.qub.ac.uk/sne/atlas4/candidate/1182257451332056300/

The reason for the odd annotation is because the underlying host is marked as stellar in 2MASS PSC and PS1 but as a galaxy in NED (via 2MASS XSC). Sherlock ranks and merges the results, placing NED highest and therefore giving the NT designation. But it hasn't done a good job at writing the human readable annotation.

The transient is synonymous with 2MASXJ18225742+3320565; a J=15.91 mag stellar source found in the NED/2MASS/PS1 catalogues. It's located 0.3" from the stellar source core.

now reads:

The transient is synonymous with 2MASXJ18225742+3320565; a 15.59 mag galaxy found in the NED catalogue. It's located 0.3" from the galaxy core.

fixed.
