Great image there, Greg

Notice the two rings of star formation and the bar across the nucleus. Very bright nucleus too...even for ab sized nuclei. It is listed amongst a couple of studies of Seyfert galaxies, but I don't think it's one itself. SIMBAD doesn't list it as such.

It's only a small galaxy too...40,779ly across.
