im new to classification

• by christian_taylor

  Would you say this is featureless eliptical, or would the bright spot in the centre count as a feature?, this seems quite common in other wise featureless objects
  Thanks,

  Hi christian taylor and welcome to the Zoo

  I'd probably go for a very fuzzy spiral or disk galaxy, but it is your call. Just answer the questions as well as you can. With these fuzzy images we are bound to get very different classifications.

  Happy hunting ! 😄

  thank for the reply. I'm particularly interested in the circular bright region in the centre, similar color to the rest. Many galaxies have a similar pright centre, many do not, but does not seem to be captured anywhee in the classification system?

  I'd go for an obvious bulge.
