  Hi LoNegro and welcome to the Zoo

  I'd go for a disturbed disk galaxy with a bar, an inner ring and a noticeable bulge, or else a disturbed barred, two armed spiral galaxy (with a big bulge). Just answer the questions as well as you can ! 😄

  Happy hunting !

  It's actually a lenticular galaxy. That's a flat disk type galaxy without spiral arms. NED classification S0 - although it looks more like an SB0 to me...that is a lenticular with a bar
