Is this galaxy merging?

  I classified it as such, because I think that little bright spot NW of it might be a way smaller galaxy approaching/already clashing the larger sister... did I do right?

  I'd classify it as tidal debris, but it's always hard to tell.

  If that's what you feel it is, you are right to classify it that way ...
