    Looks like a slightly disturbed edge on with a foreground star. Nothing exotic like a plume going on for me

    It may be just an unfortunately placed foreground star, but I too can see some sort of plume to the right and a glow to the left that suggests two merged galaxies rather than a star, or a very odd-shaped nucleus for a spiral. Definitely disturbed, and nothing obvious nearby to explain why.

    After looking at it again, I'm thinking maybe merger too ! (oops !)
