Default ASTRO: NGC 3652

While all sources seem to consider this one galaxy it sure looks like 2
in your image. Most amateur images (not many) of this one also seem to
make it two. However the Sloan image at high resolution looks more like
one after all. I've had this one on my to-do list for a night with 0.5"
seeing but its never happened so I've still not gotten it.

NGC 3652 has a ā€œZā€ shape which is seldom seen as extreme as here.
