Another unusual galaxy

    #Blue Stars This is an unusual shape and seems to consist of massive blue stars. On Skyserve it is obvious that this has a large bar longitudinally for most of its length. Anyone seen anything like this?

    At these distances we cannot see individual stars. The blue clumps are star forming regions in the galaxy.
    I'd go for a disturbed barred spiral. Really cool pic ! 😃
