Merger or simply overlap?

    My first throught was stunning merger. Taking a second look, considering each galxay in turn, they do not exhibit clear cut disturbance. I'm erring on simple #overlap.

    This is a known merger - the NGC 3799/3800 pair. Tricky one though. Couldn't really tell without redshifts (which have been measured). #merger
