Lens or not

  • alwarren56 by alwarren56

    I've been contemplating this one. I can't decide if it's a barred spiral or an elliptical with a lens. We have what appears to be star forming regions. However, if the central object is an elliptical, it's too old to have star forming regions. The upper region isn't quite as curved as I'd like to call it a lens but there does seem to be what could be a mirror on the opposite side. Tough call for me.

    Definitely not an elliptical.

    Disturbed barred spiral for me
