IC4933 & NGC6850 – Chile

An interesting, distant duo in Telescopium. IC4933 is the slightly larger barred spiral on the right, and NGC6850 is the distorted spiral on the left.
The Hubble distance to IC4933 is 232 million ly, while NGC6850 is about 237 million ly out. So its likely they are inereacting with the latter getting the worst of it.
