  Hi all,

  I was just hoping that someone could confirm that there are 3 different kinds of galaxies in this photo?

  The central object, which you are supposed to classify, is a barred,tight, two armed spiral with a bulge. The galaxy at the top is a barred, loose, two armed spiral. The two bright objects to the right are foreground stars from our galaxy.

  Happy hunting ! 😄
