Another lens candidate

    The galaxy at 09 57 38.675 +12 06 47.9 looks oddly like a gravitational lens. Weird alignment or possible candidate?

    Well.... to me, looks more like a galaxy fragment. I would rather be wrong though.

    I'm not convinced this is a lens either. The 'arc' if too thick and fuzzy. And the central object looks to be either an edge on or the bar of a disturbed spiral.
