    Hi Bobix22 and welcome to the Zoo !😄

    Definitely not a lens. I'd go for a two-armed, barred spiral, where the spiral arms fold back to make a ring. And that is actually called a ringed galaxy.

    Happy hunting ! 😄

    Thanks ElisabethB for your help. The arm on the right seems longer isn't it?
