  This galaxy is pretty. It's obviously the result of a merge.

  NED says it's NGC1614 at z=0.02. And lucky us - there is a HST image of it already. http://www.spacetelescope.org/images/heic0810ax/

  Not surprising with all that disturbance and related shocks going through the gas. 😃

  #other - is that shoot just the equivalent of lens flare or a disturbance?
