Many Lightpoints

    Hi i'm a hobby astronom and I've got no plan what these Lightpoints in a row are. Does sombody know if these are galaxies or stars?

    By looking in SkyServer we can see that they are galaxies, but without the redshift for all of them, it is difficult to tell their relationship to each other.

    By purely looking at the image there does seem to be some interaction (particularly the lower ones), so merging galaxies is a possibility 😃
