A good chance that 2 objects are gravitationally bound

My evaluation focussed on the central object, but I think there's a strong chance that the galaxy at the centre-right is a companion, as it's roughly the same size and the colours are also similar.
Are we dealing with a group of at least 2 galaxies here?
Does the rather irregular shape of the centralmember indicate that it's the result of a merger?Posted

You are correct in classifying the central object.
As for a merger : the image is really too fuzzy to tell for mePosted
