    I can't quite decipher what's going on here and need some help. Are these two foreground stars?

    Nope, all three objects are galaxies ! It's a bit easier to see in the optical image.

    Looks like some interaction going on between the two ellipticals. The edge on is probably a foreground galaxy (#overlap)
