It is very impossible to make.

Elliptical galaxies is a galaxy that shaped a ball.
But that picture is a spiral disk galaxy.

A hybrid between spiral and elliptical is called lenticular, like the one monmarfori is showing. :)
It's flat but doesn't have spiral arms. :)
Nice galaxy, well done. :)

No, elliptical are spheres. Spirals are flat. :)
The hybrid, lenticular, is flat but doesn't have spiral arms. :)
