Help with classifying

• by jhanson50

  I am rather new to this and would like to get some feedback on how others would classify this. It just doesn't look like a galaxy to me.

  The central object is most definitely a galaxy. But it is very fuzzy in this infrared image, so not much to tell about it.

  I'd go for a bulge and irregular.
