I don't know how "Navigate" would read a lens; in this case it appears to say "Star" along the bluish arc

That does look interesting! Possible #lens candidate for me 😃

I would say that #lens is unlikely. Mainly because it's not centered on the galaxy.

It is a cluster - slightly different. Very similar to one of the new official SW candidates that got modelled last year 😃

Agreed that the arc orientation is not ideal. But there's a lot of mass there, including the dark stuff. Optimistically I might say #gradeB
