I decided to classify a few galaxies tonight to help me relax and get ready to sleep ... to my surprise and delight this one was presented to me.

This isn't a high quality pic, but it's good enough. I think this is one of the most beautiful galaxies I have ever seen, so I thought I'd share this with you.

Hi all, I just signed up as well. I did the trial and much to my surprise scored 12 out of the 15.

I have to say some of those images are quite tricky little beggars.

Cheers

Well, I'm still going.

I've classified about 3000 galaxies so far!!!!!
Exciting stuff being among the first people to see them!

Here are some more of my favourites so far, put together in a collage.

Yep Sarah,

I seemed to have gotten a lot that looked like Hoags Ring too. Can't put down whether they are 'clock' or 'anti', so I put them in as 'Side-on/Unknown'

I've done about 50 now.

I was having a look at the stats section and the leaders are up to around 60,000 now . They must live there 24 hour a day.

Cheers
