Wu showed me that most of the bright galaxies in the Virgo Cluster are not detected properly in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey! Admittedly, the SDSS software is optimized for 16–19 mag galaxies, but seriously, this is a disgrace! We have to decide whether we are going to punt on our Virgo Cluster update or else fix the SDSS catalog at the bright end (a huge job).
Quintero made some nice figures, but nothing was fully ready in time for this blog post!
