Strange merger?

    This is similar to my previous post but they are the same colour and probably distance, what caught my eye is the straight feature at the 2 o clock position, maybe asteroid?

    Again, not sure if these two galaxies are interacting. So, it could be an overlap or it could be a merger. We'd need much clearer images and additional information.

    The straight feature at 2 is another galaxy, probably a disk or spiral galaxy seen edge on.
