In central region of Sculptor, a popular colliding galactic pair of "Cartwheel galaxy" is positioned.
A larger one with shape of cartwheel has been registered as ESO350-40, and eastern another dwarf galaxy collided head on is ESO350-40A.
These galaxies have visual brightness of about 19th magnitude, and size of smaller than 1 arc minutes, very very dimmed celestial objects difficult to detect with amateur telescopes.
I have displayed an image captured by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) in this page.
I think you can recognize outlines of these galaxies by comparing with HST's clear picture.
