It is not a non BOINC version of POGS (theSkyNet) by the looks of it ???    It is all manual on the screen where you seelect a galaxy and then have to seee if everything is correct by colour.  I am colour blind (Red/Green) so not for me.  

I did one just to get a score of 1 from processing one Galaxy.
