Merger or Bar with Dust Lane?

• by PDXDave

  Looks like a #merger but could it be a bar spiral with a dust lane?

  I classified it as a merger of two #spirals with single arms.

  definitely #merger
  Could also be a merger of disturbed ellipticals

  So those would each have a #tidaltail rather than spirals?

  That is a possibility.
  They look more like disturbed ellipticals to me (but that is just me ! 😉)
