#dustlane
Seems a particularly bright and well-defined nucleus. Artifact of imaging?
Not sure if the red blob is a merger or something else - there's no disturbance.
One-armed #spiral
Nice #barred spiral but no way of identifying via question tree - once it's "clumpy" that's it.
is that an #artifact to the left? Green ring
#dustlane - or dual core
Thanks Elisabeth, that would make a very pretty fabric design.
#red
Is the blue an #optical artefact?
#edge

#Merger of three galaxies? Skyserver suggests each of the three "nuclei" is a galaxy. Complete picture even more spectacular.
Foreground star or super=bright galaxy?
Very artistic
This looks like a displaced bar. It's a strange mix of a coherent shape but asymmetry. Can't see anything to cause it's upset tho.
Looks as if the yellowish blob is clearing a space for itself. Not sure if it #merger or something else.
#overlap
All those clouds have warped my judgement. I classed this as a barred spiral. Not so sure now.
giant #fhb
marked possible arc, due to the three equidistant points close to galaxy.
#asteroid
#cluster
I marked it as merger, but now think probably #overlap
weird distorted spiral
Interesting deformed spiral
It is a satellite trail.
I see a faint #arc at 4-5 oclock, and at 10-11 oclock. Also, is that an asteroid on the left?

OK, I won't worry about the one in a hundred that might be a galaxy!
Can blue ellipticals be lensing galaxies? And do the lensed galaxy markers have to be equidistant from the lensing galaxies centre of mass?
I've been marking these as star/artefact - but, I guess some of them must be galaxies, even if badly miscoloured?
cosmic lightbulb
If the nucleus is the nose, it has very faint ears - possible lens?
super #merger
Not sure what's going on here so I've marked it as #merger #ring (v. faint lower left/centre) and possible lens. Could just be overlap.
Marked as #merger, but might just be #overlap
This is a definite "G"
#dustlane which wasn't an option I was offered
#bowtie
It might be a sedate merger
Purple blob?
elliptical with star-forming in the periphery? Or lensing of blue areas? (Actually on skyserver, looks more like halo of blue round core)
#double nucleus
Ahh yes, likely artifact, Thanks
spirliptical
Weird red galaxy merging, or giant red star?
Large #dustcloud below smaller galaxy in this image?
Spirliptical
#blueelliptical
Marked this as merger, but both galaxies have undisturbed shape, so probably overlap.
very bright white centre
Wolfram Alpha says: 1.23 billion years ago, or 1.29 billion ly away (395Mpc).
its almost a #ring
Have these Hubble images been photoshopped? I've had a few unnaturally smooth images like this...
more like a dustcloud than a dustlane
#dustcloud I classed this as smooth irregular, its centre is very cloudy though.
nice #ring
Disturbed, but I can't see any candidates that might have disrupted it in recent time.
Lopsided and dusty
I've marked it as a merger, but now I think it's an #overlap
Lively #merger
I was going to say #dustlane in "anything odd" but didn't get the chance. It's more like a dust cloud than a lane
#edge #dustlane
Quite interesting..
Really bright centre
z=0.09468 How far is that?
#red Interesting, looks like massive red centre with blue star-forming spiral arms. Or could be coincidentally positioned red star I guess!
Unusual mix - I marked it as #ring but wasn't really convinced
Looks like large #dustcloud
Metamorphosing into barred spiral? Or vice versa.
spyglass
I agree! Just going off to do something else. Perhaps tomorrow we'll be back to galaxies.......
A #crown! or a splash.
Just #beautiful
Elliptical with area of blue star forming
If these two galaxies are on the same plane, how far apart are they? And how can I find that out?
Although, sometimes passing galaxies appear to rip lumps off each other and leave them floating independently. Would that work?
#protospiral?
Has this one produced lots of little baby galaxies? It's not a very crowded bit of space otherwise
I see quite a few like this where the two red stars could be a bit of lens/arc, or just equidistant coincidences.
Is there a #green flare on the upper edge of this galaxy, or is it a green star?
#mixed elliptical spiral
#green
Very dull star? Object to classify is the small dot to the left.
Is this just a #merger or a galaxy with two nuclei?
Blue elliptical with dust cloud and star forming region?
Probably overlap?
Interesting spiral. Looks like a mix.
Exceptionally beautiful double twisted #ring
Green clump above?
trails, artifact?
blue clump at SW. #merger ?
#merger ?
Also, how does numbering/naming work, as this is in the #red hashtag group as AGZ00013vi?
Yes, it's the reddest one I've seen as well...could those equidistant blobs be arc/lens?
From this angle it looks like three rings.
#fhb
I've read somewhere that these should be classified as barred spirals - is this right anyone?
Could the two eguidistant faint greenish blobs be a lens?
Is it a #satellite ?
#FHB
#bar #ring
I might be crazy, but I'm pretty sure I can just make out a bar and a ring in the centre here.
If zoom out, it looks like camera effect of bright star.
#bar
#bar #rings
I thought #ring
#Barred spiral
#clumpy
irregular gassy area #green
I thought it might have been a pea! My first #planetary nebula
#ring
Is there a shuttlecock flying past this one? Or is it a space duck? #spaceduck
This looks like an elliptical in front of a disturbed spiral. Or a metamorphosing galaxy.
#edge But not entirely sure about this one
#edge #merger
bright green area?
#clumpy plus a small (more distant?) edge on galaxy
#ring #bar
#red galaxy
Start of spiral formation? I really must start that astronomy course!
clumpy
#clumpy and a little mini-galaxy off to one side?
chaos
disturbed ring
#ring ? nice far-reaching spirals

#clumpy #merger
Platterpillar _ asterism
#clumpy - but beautifully formed.
I've just checked, apparently it's most likely an asterism.
not sure if this is a group of stars, or combining galxies. #platterpillar ?
ring?
#red centre
#ring with #bar and possible #merger
Wormy trail on bottom R?
ejection, or #merger?
Fly by, or #merger
Attempt at drawing a heart? Two spiral arms coming from one spot.
Collision trail?
#bar and ring
remnants of spiral?
#merger ? or strange ejection?
#ring #irregular
Why do I get the option to classify these pixelated galaxies as "clumpy". When it's not an option for galaxies like AGZ0002H5U
#pixelated

#irregular #disturbed #clumpy
#clumpy or is it just a merger?
#spyglass
I classified this as smooth cigar shaped - but surely it could be a disk edge on? Not sure what to do with those similar to this.

I would have put this in the "clumps" category, but it didn't appear as an option.
