It gives you such a sense of wonder at the beautiful galaxies out there, and I had no idea that there were so many....and so fabulous. I'm nearly 60 too, and a bit worried about posting an ordinary object (to the experts) which seems so extraordinary to me, and of course getting the classifications right. I presume that the one we classify is the one centre screen? Well done to you all, having the time of my life, completely fascinated with it all...but I've had to stop after three hours because my eyes are crossing now. Good luck in your very worthwhile venture. Just started, and loving it!!!

I just joined up and classified a few galaxies and I was sure I messed up and sent the whole thing crashing down. (not TOO self-important, am I?) So, thanks for the explanation. I'm eager to go onto My Galaxies because there were one or two that I wondered about. Like Pennie, above, I wondered what to do with one view that had two significant objects in it. Anyway, I'll check back. All the best, Carla from New Bedford MA, USA. whew…I thought it was me.

My guess is that either your RAM is insufficient or your cache isn't set up correctly. One million transactions per day is really nothing if you have everything set up correctly. Oh, & I'm also well over 60, & consult on technology as a full-time job. Arfon, it looks like the database has just gone down again at 1615 Hawaii time on 19 Feb.

Any chance of expanding our possible feed back on the category 'other' when we spot something?(then we could explain what we see!) Also what do we click if we see more than one 'other' eg ring and irregular? P. Wonderful site – great to feel involved in something so unique.
