    How to identify?

    Hi TJHUNTER and welcome to the Zoo.

    I'd classify this one as : features - not an edge on - no bar - not a spiral - noticeable or dominant bulge - anything odd : disturbed and dust lane. But that is just me ! Just answer the questions as well as you can and you'll be fine ! 😄

    Happy hunting !

    😄 I did it almost the same, only I didn't add the disturbed (what I still don't understand).

    Could you help me with that to?

    All objects are "disturbed" it's a subjective call. All people are different as are galaxies. Try to use morphological adjectives that aren't too generic.

    that's an asteroid east

    Disturbed is not easy to explain. Here this galaxy is not a nice round or elliptical disk galaxy, but the shape is distorted. And that is probably cause by interaction with another galaxy. Hope this helps ! 😄

    Happy hunting ! 😄

    So, all of these must be disturbed distorted too?

    ETG .045788 & (1) late ETG .038040 west & (2) ETG .047000 1237680100234952725 & (3) ETG .046162 1237680100234887247 & (4) .046035 1237680100234887249

    & east (5) ETG .045345 1237680100235215019 & (6) ETG .045278 1237680100235346075

    & south (7) ETG .045158 1237678617962938513 (8) ETG .044377 1237678617962938450 (9) late ETG .045848 1237678617962938507 (10) ETG .045388 1237678617962938478

    For the first one : 1237680100234887249

    Definitely, as it is interacting with the larger galaxy to the right.

    Second one : 1237680100235346075

    enter image description here

    I'd go for slightly disturbed.

    No3 : 1237678617962938478

    enter image description here

    Again I might go for slightly disturbed, but if you do not see any disturbances that is okay as well.

    Anyway, just answer the questions as well as you can and you'll do fine.

    And @zoob1172 : Would it be possible to post an image instead of just the coordinates ? It is just a lot of trouble to go and get the images. Tx !

    Most of these objects are billions of year old. They are going to pick up freckles along the way.

    What on earth are you talking about ? One sentence answers are so not doing the tricks !

    It really would help if you were a bit clearer in your responses !

    Tx !
