possible central #disc or #ring?
From the NED data I think it's a double core #merger with foreground star.
Beautiful - #ngc 7800
Looks almost like the disk is dissipating upper right
star
#fhb
#irregular with #starforming regions
Single arm #barred #spiral
That's a satellite trail - the exposure of the camera is long enough that the satellite movement is captured as a line
Thank you! I hope the two events are not linked... 😃
It certainly looks like it! They keep getting rid of them, and they keep coming back...
I blame the Mayans
Hmmm, I took a holiday over on snapshot Serengeti, but they ran out of zebras so I came back early... To 'the return of the scarf'
possible #merger with #tidal disruption
The images often have multiple galaxies present. Please classify the one in the centre.
#NGC 260
you can tag it as #egdgeon and add #dustlane if you like!
Looks like a foreground star. The patterns in the surface are imaging artefacts
nice catch!
very clear #bar and #ring
This one has a UGC classification but there are plenty with no classification at all!
lovely #spiral. Click on 'galaxy zoo examine' and from there 'view on skyserver'. select SIMBAD from the left menu
#blue #irregular
#disturbed with long #tidaltail
#UGC 1075
partial image of galaxy UGC 527 #irregular with #starforming areas
somewhat ghostly!
I don't see much disturbance to the #elliptical, so I'd be more inclined to think it's an overlap than a merger
Beautiful - good catch. Identified as NGC 478, also part of the #KUG classification.
NGC 4630
#elliptical #merger
Yes these are all stars - the target is the one centre frame
#overlap
It's a green star - poor image quality. See above post on the #scarffield
#disturbed #edgeon with #dustlane
#irregular
#starforming regions. not on NED
beautiful / fascinating!
Thanks for posting T A F 😃 have to admit I've not been on the forum as much since the new GZ, using the Talk function more.

The green line is a satellite trail. The odd spherical area is an optical artefact produced by a star just off image

Warped #edgeon with starforming regions UGC12321 #KUG
I'd rather be irregular than disturbed I think... 😃
Beautiful. Classification is UGC 1600
Not quite sure if this qualifies as #disturbed spiral or just #irregular
Warped #edgeon with blue disk
No data on NED or SIMBAD for this one. I'm with Elizabeth though - irregular or disturbed. The blue patch may indicate #starforming regions
Nice spot wtaskew
Definitely a #merger
Spiral with central bar or ring, not sure which! Nice though
I'd say star especially judging by the starburst lines
#disturbed
That's a lovely thought! 😄 something for us all to strive for

or even better (I recommend checking this out!) http://hubblesite.org/gallery/album/entire/pr2008035e/xlarge_web/
Skyserver says it is NGC 4163 - a low surface brightness galaxy. nice hubble image http://hubblesite.org/gallery/album/pr2009019b
Interesting - some kind of double structure in the area of the nucleus. Classification is UGC 6666...
see post by ElizabethB - satellite trail
There is an article on it http://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-iarticle_query?bibcode=1984A%26A...131..291N&db_key=AST&page_ind=0&
nice, NGC 4156 I think
Nice - asteroid 7 o'clock position?
NGC 7587 - beautiful image
Discovered in 1781! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messier_105
I agree. M105 or NGC 3379
Close up #edgeon
Twins
beautiful - nice find. It's NGC 985, a Seyfert 1 galaxy 594 Mly distant.
blue patches or spots are often though to be #starforming regions within a galaxy
#dustlane
Nucleus seems slightly offset from the plane of the #ring
Clear #ring
#Double nucleus
Possible it's a tidal tail but it seems more likely it's something behind the elliptical galaxy - an overlap
The white object is a foreground star - not a merger I'm afraid
Is it the same thing? I was under the impression that classifying disk or elliptical was an important distinction.
...but although I've been doing this a while I'd be interested to see if that's a consensus or not?
I'd have probably gone for features or disk/ not edge on/ no bar/ no spiral/ obvious bulge and flagged the ring in "anything odd"...
This is a disk seen #edgeon with a rather nice #dustlane (the brown stripe) - nice find!
#merger with #tidaltail - looks like it is being sucked up. Worth checking on Skyserver
#starforming regions
Imaging artefact on an overexposed foreground star. Boring explanation for great colour
It's the mysterons
NGC 691 in constellation #aries, #supernova reported in his galaxy http://www.noao.edu/outreach/aop/observers/n691.html
#ring and #bar
Hard to see! Could almost be a single arm spiral. Good spot!
The elliptical doesn't appear particularly disturbed so more likely overlap I'd say
And it's #disturbed too
NGC 2583 #elliptical in constellation #hydra
NGC 2585 #barredspiral in #hydra .
Afraid not - foreground star superimposed on a rather nice barred galaxy with a ring
There's nothing local to disturb it so I'd lean towards #irregular but you could argue either!
Does the galaxy have a mostly clumpy appearance? Yes!
#hubble #merger headlights in the fog

NGC 1384
Hi and welcome! All of these are stars from our own galaxy as far as I can see. Happy classifying!
Cool image! Telescope must have shifted during the exposure for the green filtered image
I'd say 3 or 4 of these are round elliptical galaxies
Identified as NGC 5258
Amazing #merger
Satellite trail - mark as artefact. It's green because it moves so fast it only gets registered through one filter
Beauty
I would call this a #merger but the other objects are stars in our own galaxy
Star or artefact - always look at the object in the centre. These all appear to be stars. Good luck!
That's a beauty
#irregular wih #starformingregions and a peculiar orangey centre
Beautiful. Lots of #starformingregions
NGC 2393 also in #KUG classification
NGC 4079 #barredspiral in Virgo
Darn that scarf! 😃
I'd like it to be a #lens but probably just an artefact
Interestingly shaped #Hubble objects
This is a star which has been poorly imaged
Two overlapping stars I'm afraid - poorly imaged
I think you might be right... Back to the scarf...
NGC 2590 - lovely.
Any ideas why there is a dark halo around the foreground star at 4 o'clock?
I see what you mean but I'd suspect it was an artefact
😄
The cosmic scarf all stars, sounds like a basketball team from Alaska
All stars I'd say...
Boxy edgeon?
I'd wear that if someone knitted it!

Stars. I'd suggest you take a look around the forum area - you'll enjoy it! It's a great place to learn more about these images.
They are foreground stars
#Dustlane seen from directly above?
NGC 4656
Sorry ElizabethB, seem to be echoing you... But slightly slower at typing!
Fuzzy Hubble blob or #fhb
Always look at the object in the centre of the frame. This is a Hubble image and many of them are faint /fuzzy and hard to classify.
#spiral #merger
This #elliptical is rather square!?
Nice work - I can't claim expert knowledge but certainly sounds very likely. Good spot - unusual to see a merger so early.
Looks like this needs to be called a #merger instead!
I'd venture a #barredspiral which is rather #disturbed or #irregular.
Take a look at some of the collections with barred galaxies in - there is a big variety in morphology
Nice! I'd say #gpair merger too

#irregular with #starformingregions - nice

None of the three are distorted - probably just overlapping from our viewpoint but a long way apart.

Thank you! I don't have the background to say that but it was my instinct.
A #merger of #elliptical and #irregular with ring of #starformingregions

Ooooooh, nice. #dustlane too. This looks familiar.

I wondered if they were! Is there a #starformingregions hashtag?
Wondering how it might form, interesting! It is certainly #irregular - though I'm not sure what the difference in definition is
Like the blue blobs on this #irregular object / #disturbed
This is the most #disturbed galaxy I've seen - any ideas where the culprit might be?
I'd call this a #disturbed #spiral with #clumps - any other offers?
