Zooniverse Update 2

Lately on Zooniverse I've been focusing more on Galaxy Zoo. I have noticed an unfortunate trend which is that a good many of the pictures are of what look like blurry, amorphous objects. This makes it difficult at times to properly classify the galaxies. However, some pictures, especially those on Galaxy Zoo 2, are quite clear and magnificent. These pictures are often of quite interesting galaxies as well. I have seen several well-defined spirals, as well as a picture of two galaxies that appeared to be interacting. I'm curious about some of the other "odd" things that can appear, such as how a ring or arc might look, and am hoping to come across one of those in the future.
