SDSS Image link

If there was a chance (a direct link to sdss page) to see the image in SDSS before giving the final decision in classification area , it would lead to more accurate classifications as SDSS images are most of the time more clear than zoo images. One good example is the following image:

As you can see it is hard to tell in zoo image but it is obviously spiral in SDSSPosted

copy of my post in your other discussion with the same question, only here it is not an artificially redshifted galaxy but an infrared image 😄
"This image is from the UKIDS Survey that has images in the infrared. Obviously, these are different from the ones in SDSS. But that is precisely the point. It gives the scientists an idea on how our classifications change with wavelenght.
More on these infrared images here : http://blog.galaxyzoo.org/2013/10/15/galaxy-zoo-continues-to-evolve/
Just give it your best shot. The classifications of these faint images is every bit as important as those of the clearer ones

This means I should stop checking sdss for every image I classify 😃 Thanks for the explanation

😄 You can always check SDSS to get some background info, or to see how the galaxy looks like in the optical !
Just have fun ! 😄
