For those of you who like unusual and challenging targets that are very poorly understood so far and that have hardly been studied by astronomers, I call your attention to my discussion of this galaxy pair in the Observation Reports forum;
the discussion was started by "pgc hunter" under the heading "Observation Report 4/6/11"

At first glance this interesting close pair seems to be a non-interacting alignment of two galaxies in the same line-of-sight, but I find that there are some definite oddities in the structure of one of the galaxies.

Despite the fact that this is a relatively prominent pair of galaxies, there is hardly any data in the data archives about it, and hardly any available imaging, and virtually no study of it in the literature!
