How Many Arms?

obviously a** spiral** But, i'm not sure how tightly wound it is or how many arms it has. Anyone have a suggestion?

Well how many arms......hmmm I can tell you it has not been posted in DR7 or DR8 UZC J071115.6+311014 ( Zwicky galaxy) Nice find might want to post it over in that thread.

Tmug - I think two arms, one which is smaller and nearer the center and one which is more loosely wrapped.
