Unusual bar across galaxy

• by PeterHall

  Nice sprial galaxy viewed from side on, but what is the bar running WSW to ENE? is it part of the same galaxy or is in behind?

  I suspect it could be a polar ring... but hard to tell.

  Could be behind (so could the smaller features at the bottom-most part of the edge-on disk), but could be an edge-on ring or something else with the main galaxy. Interesting!
