HI Robert,
thanks for the links to the images here.
Yes, the galaxy arms are thinly populated and sparse, it's very pretty galaxy. Stu has a 15 minute image that shows those features quite well.

We are still waiting for the spectrum to be confirmed, but we were advised yesterday that at first glance, it looks like a recent core collapse, probably a type IIb, or type II.
