A beautiful image of a fascinating but less commonly imaged object.

It seems from our reading that it's in the same camp as NGC 5128: an elliptical swallowing a spiral, hence the general lack of shape but some twisty dust lanes. A difference is that the Hamburger has lots of bright blue star formation but the Hubble shot of this one doesn't show that. A gentler galaxy crash!

Excellent work.
