My last image of 2016 was a nice galaxy pair consisting of NGC 147 (oblong galaxy on the right) and NGC 185 (spherical galaxy on the left). There is some debate among astronomers, but there is some evidence to support that these two galaxies form a binary pair meaning their gravities interact and also are considered satellites of the massive Andromeda Galaxy.
