I’m not 100% sure if this is starburst, can anybody confirm?

That is a good question. I tend to use starburst a little to loosely sometimes. this galaxy definitely appears to have several areas of star formation, however it also appears to have low surface brightness whereas a starburst galaxy is exceptionally bright. this galaxy LEDA 880156 is a beautiful blue barred spiral. I love its wide spiral arms. Let’s hope somebody is home in this one, looking back at us.
