    Classification

    Shape - Smooth
    Round - In Between
    Clumps - One or Two?

    This classification seemed simple enough. This galaxy is a "Smooth" galaxy with an "In Between" selection for roundness. I wasn't sure if or how include the lower cluster in the classification though. Should I have selected "Smooth" and "In Between," and then select "Odd" and "Other" and then hit Done? Should I have only selected "Smooth" and "In Between" and ignore the cluster underneath, since it is not central to the picture? Or should I have gone through the "Features or disk" option and then selected "Yes" for clumpy, "1" for clumps, "No" for symmetry, and then (most importantly) "No" for "Do the clumps appear to be embedded within a larger object?"

    I think I am trying to be too precise with how to categorize something like this and it probably doesn't really matter. Let me know what you selected or what you would think to be the most accurate way to classify this image.

    Thanks!
