Merger or not

    The core has a galaxy next to it in the nav. and the red star is in the foreground. I think thats what I am seeing?

    Hi @bluemagi,

    I am most likely going to go with two foreground stars. The much more distant elliptical galaxy looks undisturbed. Also the colouring of the two more defined smaller objects are quite similar (when you extract the brightness of the galaxy).

    Would need more time to investigate, but gut instinct and all says no merger - foreground stars 😃
