SDSS Ref. No. 588009370692288571

Another example of what I believe to be a lenticular galaxy, with some features of spiral galaxies and some features of elliptical galaxies. I would appreciate it if someone with more knowledge than me would tell me whether I am correct. You can either leave a message in the comments or e-mail me at f1zzle@hotmail.co.uk. Please excuse the slight artifact near the middle of the image.

Sorry, it's actually a spiral galaxy, namely NGC 4605. Am I too eager for a lenticular galaxy?
