A minor colliding galaxy pair is NGC3395 and NGC3396 lying in eastern Leo Minor, you can see the pair in right hand size of this picture. It's considered that the pair is not head-on collision, but passing each other like skimming. And this picture shows you other several galaxies in left hand side, NGC3430, NGC3424 and NGC3413 from upper left to lower right.
