Arp89
A soft and smooth disk of a galaxy with some arms that are both well-defined and impossible to circumscribe as they blend into one another. One thin lane of dust is visible in front of the nucleus about a third of the distance from the center point to the edge, while another thin lane is just discernible close to the brightest part of the nucleus.
There is another galaxy off to the left which is much smaller and can be partially seen at the edge of the composition. The larger galaxy hardly seems perturbed at all by the smaller one, while the smaller one seems to pulled and stretched thin at its periphery.
A color image comprised of SDSS data can be seen here:

Data from the following proposal is used to create this image:
Establishing HST's Low Redshift Archive of Interacting Systems
All channels: ACS/WFC F606W
North is 13.51° clockwise from up.
