Request help with classification

    Hey guys, I am still new to this, but am trying my best. I have this star here which looks like it could be a star shedding its layers, or it could be a galaxy with multiple rings (or even multiple arms which loop back.) What gets me is that it looks like 2 circular rings which overlap over the star/center of the galaxy. Just hoping for some help here.

    All the current images are centered on the nucleus of spiral galaxies. The center bright object is the nucleus, there is a bar extending up and down, all the nucleus area is inside a halo and there are two tight spiral arms, which are forming pseudorings.
