Loving the one at post 26, Annie.

Ho yus. Reminds me of the Nexus in that Trek film - Generations? I think. Yes,

The original picture I got was very close. Going to the analysis page and zooming out, got this lovely picture, but zooming out once more shows the lovely clockwise spiral at the bottom of the image. This time I've used Gnomon's tip about adding the "scale=" to the end of the URL to give the instant image instead of me saying "zoom out thrice"

Wow! Wow! Wow! That is excellent, Annie.

Not sure about this Annie, can you help?

A blue irregular, one I've alerted the team to

Oops, sorry, should have refreshed before I posted!!

That's a man-made satellite (of ours) which has triggered the camera. You should classify it as "Star/Don't Know" - there are red lines, green lines and blue lines.

Cheers, for that. I thought so but...

you're welcome.

Here's a kinky one...

A superb edge-on

My target was: the peach/gold elliptical in front of the two blue people-doing-press-ups-looking object.

I'm not sure whether that's an edge-on with a double core, or a merger, or just an optical illusion
