Help

    Sometimes, like in this case, i really need some help before classifying.. I can't really say what is this, and i have just classified it, probably wrongly, as a star or artifact, because i can't really distinguish a far galaxy with a little amount of star from a single star with some powders around.. What can i do in these cases?

    Just answer the questions as well as you can ! And don't worry if you make a mistake. Lots of people will get this same image to classify.

    And you can always ask for help here in Talk, but only after your classification.

    In this case I would have gone for smooth and round galaxy. The bright white object to the left is a foreground star from our galaxy.
