Object name: UGC12342Designation(s): UGC12342, UGC12350, UGC 12342 and UGC 12350 are the two main galaxies in the image. UGC 12342 is the seagull-like galaxy and is about 355 million light-years away. It is classed as SB? I can't even tell if it is 1 or 2 galaxies as I see nothing in the literature indicating it is two. In the enlargement, I can see hints that 2 may be involved as indicated by the strong color change. How else to explain the messy state it's in. It was picked up by the 2 micron survey so likely has massive star formation hidden behind dust, another indicator of a collision in progress.
