    This is classified from Sdm-D to SB(s)d? to SBcd At our perspective it is nearly impossible to tell. The knotted arm south-east of the nucleus in this image (north-west in reality) is in question ( the d? in the SB(s)d? classification) I think. The Quasar is said to be a companion to this galaxy but with redshifts like ( z 0.0031 for the Galaxy and z 0.9555 for the quasar) I somehow doubt it. The QSO, by the way is the object at 2 o'clock of the core and just above and to the left of bright white star.
