NGC4038, the antenna galaxy should be visible in your scope and is an example of two galaxies that have collided. In my scope it usually looks pretty much like a kidney bean which is the two cores together I think. In a larger scope (maybe just visible in our 10" scopes at a good dark site with good conditions), you can see the 'antenna' which are spiral arms of stars thrown out by the collision.
