    this looks like a merger or a dust lane. What do you think?

    I thought it was a merger, and maybe spirals at the top right?

    The central object is indeed a galaxy, possibly a very fuzzy spiral. The bright object to the top is a foreground star from our galaxy. So, no merger possible here.
