Is this an example of two galaxies merging?

There apears to be a nebula like structure in the center of both galaxies. Any idea what that could be?

The darker area in the center of both these objects is an optical artifact caused by oversaturation.
And the central object is indeed a galaxy, but the one at the bottom is not a galaxy but a foreground star from our galaxy.
