    Could be me 😉 but can u check the "Examples" photos on Spirals ...specifically the "Medium" vs "Loose". shouldn't they be reversed?

    I think that he's referring to the images that appear when you click the "examples" tab in the classification interface when asked about the tightness of the spiral-arm pattern.

    Here's the image for "medium:"

    Here's the image for "loose:"

    They look correct to me... ?

    Hi HMB6EQUJ5

    I do understand your confusion. If the medium ones just folded back a bit sooner , that would make it a better example. But all in all, the examples are okay for me. And just give it your best shot ! Thanks for participating !

    Happy hunting ! 😄

    thanks !! I've just in past used by understanding of "loose" and by chance i went to "examples" and personally the "medium" fits in to what i consider loose as a goose. The bottom one suggests more closeness. carry on...😃
