A long time ago in galaxies far, far away ...
I can confirm that the lens distortions through my little telescope also reveal a lot of darkness in this part of Phoenix. And I, too, would have to use a computer to make it appear blue. But I would have to stretch the truth, as well as the light curves, to call it dark matter.
With an angular size of ~9.5 arcmin, a bread box/bin 500m distant would appear about as big as El Gordo does in the southern sky.
