Wow ! A super-ultra-productive evening, and a very pretty, intriguing result.

A most unusual galaxy. We struggled to follow the spiral arms in and find the central bar: there seemed to be two possible candidates for the bar, and two candidates for the Seyfert nucleus. Where did I leave my x-ray spectrometer?
Ah, here it is, under the coffee machine, trying to keep warm.

Perhaps the arms are a bit on the flocculent side like M83.

The two bright field stars add to the image visually.
