Left image: Galaxy 1454, one of the peculiar/merging galaxies identified in the high-density regions, classified as Pec/M for its apparent interaction with a disk-like system less than 1 arcsec from its core and its faint blue haze which may be tidal debris from an interaction. Right image: Galaxy 1278, a regular early type surrounded by lensed images of a background galaxy. Note the difference in color and morphology between the very blue, curved lensed images surrounding Galaxy 1278 vs. the yellow, only slightly distorted disk companion of Galaxy 1454. These differences suggest that Galaxy 1454 is more likely an interaction than a case of lensing or chance superposition. Both images are 5 arcsec by 5 arcsec.
