Either really tight arms or a complete ring. #spiral #ring
Great spiral, exceptional resolution. Quite a bit of star formation. #spiral #starforming
Nice edge on with a dust lane, and some tidal debris. #edgeon #dustlane #tidaldebris
Significant merging. #merger
Looks like a Benz logo. #ring
Upper arm is quite disturbed. #merger #spiral
Another well preserved one. #spiral
Well defined. #spiral
Star forming regions are apparent. #starformation
Be there or be square. What could have cause the central object to become square? #square #cluster
One of the best that I've seen. #merger #tidaldebris #spiral
It appears to be a merger, but I could be mistaken. #dustlane #merger
"S" shaped edge on, with a dust lane and a couple overlapping foreground stars. #edgeon #dustlane
There may be two nuclei here, but I am not really sure. #edgeon
Nice and clean edge-on. #edge-on
Possible ring like feature around the nucleus. Any thoughts? #ring
Quite disturbed. There is a highly redshifted object at the edge of the star forming region, any thoughts as to what it is?
What is that red object?
Appears to be disturbed, which implies that it may be merging with the galaxy at the bottom. Green star forming region. #merger #edgeon
Is this a ring or just rather tight arms?
Some star formation present, with several redshifted objects present in the background.
Galaxy is disturbed. Presumably a foreground star beside it.
Probably a foreground star, as it is not excessively green.
#merger #cluster
#dustlane
Symmetrical with many arms. Quite the object. #spiral #starforming
A decent spiral with some regions of star formation, that appear somewhat green to me. #spiral #starforming
Another artifact with no apparent galaxy. Background objects are highly redshifted. #artifact
It appears to be an artifact, as no discernible galaxy is present. Some redshifting can be seen in background objects. #artifact
Hard to tell if it is a tight spiral or a ring, but it has a prominent ring feature near the nucleus. Active black hole. #bar #ring #spiral
Quite wide for an edge-on galaxy. Perhaps it may just be erroneous judgement on my part, but it appears that way to me. #edgeon
Somewhat misshapen, with a prominent dust-lane. Interesting object. Edgeonosaurus indeed. #edgeon #dustlane
Edge-on, with a possible dust-lane. #edgeon
#merger
#ring
Some tidal debris. Edge on galaxy is partially "S" shaped.
#artifact
#cluster
Galaxy is quite irregular. What is the greenish object present in the center? Is it a foreground star, or something else?
Yes.
Thanks for the input.
The reddish object outlined in blue near the center of this galaxy. I assume it is a foreground star, but not really sure.
Large volumes of star formation present, with a good deal of tidal debris. #merger #tidaldebris #spiral
Is the object below just a foreground star? #ring
Prominent bar feature. May be a ring, but it is difficult to tell. Some minor dust lanes are also apparent. #bar #spiral
Artifact, as I see no obvious galaxy present. Several highly redshifted objects are clearly visible in the background.
Great spiral.
Has a two toned nature to it. Reminds me of watermelon (bicolour) tourmaline. Presumably just an optical illusion, however.
#edgeon
Great merging photo. Both galaxies have a pronounced bar feature. #merger
Great example of a two-armed spiral galaxy with a large bar formation. Some foreground stars are also present. Exquisite. #spiral
What are the bright coloured objects present near galaxies in some of these photos? On a second note, there are some redshifted objects.
Is the blue object present a supernova or a foreground star?
Is that a supernova or a foreground star?
Why is the core so light coloured? Is it just due to optics, or is it something else entirely?
Many redshifted objects are present in the background.
Another ring like object. What is the object to the North East?
Another foreground star I presume.
Probably merging. #merger
Very disturbed, and quite irregular.
Not sure if this is a ring or a spiral with star formation present on the outer rim. #ring
#dustlane #merger #spiral
All of the star formation appears to be localized near the center of the object.
Some objects are redshifted. #cluster
Quite irregular, with quite a large volume of star formation. There is an odd object to the west which appears to be interacting with it.

#disturbed #edgeon
Could this object be an elliptical galaxy?
Some regions of star formation. #starforming
Foreground star I presume.
Good example of a spiral. Quite a few foreground stars present. The small object to the west appears to be at a similar distance. #spiral
This is either a tight single arm or a ring, not really sure. Object to the west appears to be interacting with the central galaxy.
Misshapen with some star formation, with a major portion occurring in the Northwest. Some redshifted objects are also apparent. #starforming
Is this two tight arms or a ring?
Good example of a three armed spiral galaxy. It has some irregularities. #spiral
Another irregular object with areas of star formation. Some redshifted objects are also present. Some tidal debris. #irregular #starforming
Somewhat irregular, with some star formation. What would explain this? #starforming #irregular
Thanks for the info, Budgieye. That makes a lot of sense.
Strange object. Massive amounts of star formation, and some irregularities. What is this? Is it a collision ring? Not really sure.
Somewhat irregular with some star formation. #starforming
Irregular, tadpole shaped. Some star formation present. #starforming
Small irregularity at the North end, which may possibly be tidal debris. Foreground star.
Two nuclei? Possible merger with some star formation. #merger

Round galaxy with some possible tidal debris.
I believe that there is a large amount of star formation present in the bottom section. #starforming
Ringed galaxy with some foreground stars. #ring
#starforming.
Thanks Ghost_Sheep, you are correct. Is this a ringed galaxy?
Thank you both for the input.
Is this what a ringed galaxy looks like from the side? #ring
#starformation
Is this a star or a couple recently merged galaxies? Not really sure what produces the two toned nature of objects like this.
Irregular with a fair amount of star formation present to the West. #starforming
What is this?
Not sure if this is a ring or just two tight arms.
Is this a ring or two tight arms? #ring
Interesting object. Not really sure what to make of it. The core appears to have been shifted out of the center. Ghost_Sheep may be correct.
It appears that this edge on galaxy has two cores, which may be from a merger. Any thoughts? #merger #edgeon
I believe that Astro_Denny may be correct in stating that this is a SN candidate based on the information provided.
One of the best that I have seen. Merging spiral and a ringed, with a great deal of star formation in the top spiral. #merger #bar #ring
Dual nucleus, with a possible third to the west (not sure, but it appears to be attracting material). Rather odd for an edge-on. #edgeon
Irregular, with some star formation present in the bottom region.
Somewhat irregular. Are the small clumps part of the galaxy, or are they in the background? Highly redshifted object present at North end.
Could the green dot be a supernova? Or is it impossible to discern at this distance? #spiral #starforming
Some very distant galaxies present in the background in this image are highly redshifted. #redshift
What a strange object. How many galaxies do you think collided to make this? #starforming #ring #merger
Star is in the foreground, but the object behind it is disturbed and misshapen so I am not sure.
Nice edge-on spiral, with a strange line formation in the middle of the bottom half. What could be the bright blue dot to the West?
Foreground star I believe, as the galaxy appears undisturbed.
Some star forming present. Could have been produced from a merger, but not really sure.
Foreground star, but interesting nonetheless.
Has a green hue to it.
Not really sure what this is. It may be an artifact, or it could also be a merger of several galaxies. Any thoughts? #merger #starforming

Alright, sorry about that. Thanks to that link to redshifting, I have a better idea now.

Sorry about that, what would you refer to the distant galaxy as, then?
