    This is an elliptical or spiral galaxy? I suppose it's a spiral galaxy or a barred spiral. What do you think about it?

    I agree with you. It looks like a spiral galaxy, since there seem to be features in it. It could be barred, difficult to see. Ellipticals are smooth with no features whatsoever.

    Yep, I agree with CeciliaB and Giospace,

    It's most probably a fuzzy spiral. The brighter feature to the right could be a displaced bar, or else just a displaced centre.

    Happy hunting !😄
