An interesting group of galaxies, with the spiral to the mid right looking especially textured and perplexing. I'm not sure the one at the upper left is close enough to be one of the interacting objects. The two to the right seem the most likely to have made a pass at some point.

I'm curious whether the small spiral near the middle has any relationship or if it is in the background. It looks reddened in PanSTARRS data like it could be redshifted, but it also looks super dusty.
