Is this a galaxy?

    There seems to be a slight, slight spiral arms. Do I put it down as spirals if they could go either way?

    yes, maybe a edge-on spiral. But I can't really be sure. Classification will probably be 50% for spiral and 50% for no detail. The fact that we don't all agree tells us something about the galaxy, it is distant and hard to make out details.

    Definitely a disc galaxy I would say, but hard to tell much more. Might be spirals if we had a deeper and higher resolution (sharper) image.
