These galaxies are closing-pair in the Virgo Cluster, right one is NGC4298, and another galaxy has a number of NGC4302.
Both are spirals but their facing angles are different, NGC4302 looks like an edge-on, we can detect its crossing dark lane clearly.
Both galaxies have a brightness of 12th magnitude, your telescope-aided eyes can detect two dimmed lumps of light although it's fairly difficult to catch a dark lane of NGC4302.
