  I see this one and it looks like it has 2 bulges in it. I inverted it and it looks like it is 2 different ones. Is it my imagination?????

  This would be a nearly completed #merger, yes? Typically the mergers I've seen are further apart.

  I'm not completel convinced this is a merger The orange dot could be a foreground star from our galaxy. The central galaxy is very fuzzy, so it is not easy to tell.

  It also could be a rogue dust lane across the center of the main galaxy...
