Little Help Please

by jedkat

I can't figure out what the object at 9 o'clock really is. It looks like a potential dwarf, but in Skyserver definitely seems to be tied somehow to the main galaxy. Any ideas or insights would be greatly appreciated!

1/2 Hi and welcome @spceodity 😃 Excellent guess - this spiral does have more star formation than normal, but it is not irregular...

2/2 enough to be an irregular 😃 I would go with a multi-armed spiral viewed at a somewhat odd angle 😃
