Bright spot to left of core. Red spot below galaxy appears to be local stellar object (need z's for both guesses).
Red spot to left, green spot to right of core. Looks like optical chromatic abberation, but this is a digital image ...
Presumed galaxy. Two bright spots left then lower left w.r.t. core
Possible local star right of galaxy (need z's)
Appears to have diffuse band around brighter centre band. Possible bar, with possible merger to upper right.
Apparent star(s)
Diffuse band around bright band around core.
Faint reddish object in upper right w.r.t. galaxy
Fuzzy but appears to have a bar, upper left to lower right, across disc
Apparent open cluster
Young blue stars in arms. Another galaxy to right in this frame
ID'd as local stellar object
Appears to be merger of old (red) with new (blue) galaxies.
'Eyeball' type object. Possible local stellar object (per moderator comments on similar images).
Outer arms (right of core) have several bright blue objects
Bright red spot to right/bottom of core. Possible local object.
Lower limb has bright object.
Multiple objects; noted by moderator as local stars
Adjacent galaxy to right
Apparent merger (need z's). May be superimposed.
Two, maybe three galaxies in frame. Notes on centre object
Two, maybe three galaxies in frame. Notes on centre object
Apparent merger (need z's)
Two, maybe three galaxies in frame
Two concentric rings. Bright inner, faint outer ring. Bright lobes at ends of inner ring. Two bright blotches at 9 & 10 o'clock w.r.t. core
Multiple bright spots, at 9 & 2 o'clock w.r.t. core
Appears as bright core with nebulous patch below.
Multiple objects in frame.
Multiple objects in field
Dark red spot on right/top of core. May be superimposed object.
Open cluster? Cannot tell what object is galaxy
Possible merger. May be superimposed objects (need z values).
Triple merger (need z's)?
Appears to have two cores. Possible merger (need z's)?
Dim spot off-centre of core, possible local object (in our galaxy) masking this distant galaxy.
Dim spot off-centre of core. Possible local object (in our galaxy).
Appears to have two concentric rings. Core has bright ring, with fainter ring beyond. Possible bright spot on lower right of galaxy.
Indeterminate shape. Possible gravity lensing.
Left & right edges appear to have different colors
Apparent merger (need z values).
2 galaxies in frame. Both have bars. Centre galaxy medium spiral; other galaxy loose spiral. Cannot tell if merger or superimposed (need z).
Bright stellar object to right of frame. Artifact line just above galaxy
Apparently partially masked. Satellite or meteor trail in frame
Open cluster?
Apparent galaxy with superimposed local star (from moderator comments on similar objects).
Apparent satellite track
False color. Similar to dual galaxies. Moderator noted those as galaxy with superimposed local star.
Apparent stellar objects
Large blue spot on upper right of galaxy. Nebulous pattern extending from core to right is unusual.
Image centred on apparent star. Classification notes for galaxy in lower right of image.
Core appears flanked by bright spots
Interesting symmetry. Moderator notes superimposed image, but quite the coincidence!
Several bright spots present on disc
Small pips present on disk upper L, R and lower L
Apparent satellite clouds (eg LMC) on upper left and middle left of main galaxy. Possible odd formation on right half of core
Odd pattern at upper left of core
