This image was obtained with the wide-field view of the Mosaic camera on the Mayall 4-meter telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory. NGC 5363 is the elliptical galaxy in the upper-left corner of the image. And NGC 5364 is the spiral galaxy in the lower right. These two galaxies are likely in the early stages of gravitational interaction. The image was generated with observations in the B (blue), V (green), and I (red) filters. This image is rotated 15 degrees clockwise from North is left, East is down.
