| I just wanted to share a really easy way to find colliding galaxies and galaxy clusters. Press F3 to bring up the "Find Object" menu. Then type in NGC which is what most unnamed galaxies begin with. Start scrolling down the long list of NGC objects until you come to some that say "NGC XXXX-1" then "NGC XXXX-2" etc. The ones with dashes next to them are in clusters. If it is for example 1040 -1 and 1040 - 2 that means there are two galaxies in the cluster. The same goes for -3 -4 and whatever you can find. Have fun
