Artifact?

Not sure if it should be marked as #artifact because the image isn't focused on the whole galaxy but rather on its part. As whole it looks like a disturbed spiral or barred spiral, but the focus is on a brighter spot - possibly starforming region...

It does sometimes happen that a clumpy galaxy like this can confuse the computer into thinking it's multiple sources. I'd suggest classifying the galaxy (whatever you think counts as the galaxy) as a whole and then perhaps coming here and tagging it with #offcenter or something similar.
Thanks for classifying!
