Some are a bit of a guess, but most are reasonably easy.
Yep, stopped counting, and unfortunately the stats and "my galaxies" links aren't active yet. But it is all a bit "zen" - don't think too hard, just react. Which is after all what I think they are after.
I thought they were a load of fuzzy blob ellipticals too at first, but I found that if I sat way back from the monitor and squint a little bit, I see spiral structure in many of them, so that's how I've been doing it.
I have found approx 70% spirals (clock and anti), a few colliders, 2 side-ons, 1 star, and the rest are blobs.
As a Galaxy Hunter myself, I suppose I have already trained my eye to notice fine faint detail.
Good training for seeing Galaxies thru our Telescopes even better though
I personally like the ones that look like somebody took a picture out of focus of a airplane talking off, then put it in photoshop, zoomed in, print screened it, and kept saving it as JPG on 1% web quality for about 5 tries.

Had a great view of the whirlpool galaxies last Sat, it is amazing the difference a 27 Panoptic will make !
For the first time I could see some structure in these awesome colliding galaxies !, 18" of mirror helps too !
Why do i get all the crappy ones?
Most are elliptical.
Hee hee! That's mostly what I also saw on my first time around. It did get a nice open barred spiral in one but mostly they are a bit...um...well...perhaps...yeah! I'll keep trying, though.
mainly eliptical here, had a few magic images amongst them though.
should start a thread for the best galaxies youve seen amongst them since apparently 'noone has ever seen these before'
2 spiral galaxies merging in one i saw, wish i saved the picture
