I think brown area must be an artifact, because it is perfectly round, as if a cosmic ray hit has been cut out.

Could the faint object to the left be merging galaxy or something being thrown out?

To me this has a bar or at least quite elongated core but no obvious spiral. Could it be tidal disturbance?

Trastuzumab, I thought the same thing about a bar or elongated core. Not sure what to think.

Augustulus, interesting observation! Could it be a dust lane running between the two sections?
