  I think it's a kind of ringed galaxy rather than a lens. I've not seen one quite like that before though, very interesting!

  Those are some pretty galaxies. Maybe tag them #starformingring, or #bluering - since it's that really blue, starforming ring they all have!

  And I see your forum list is already labelled that way. Very nice collection.
