Description
We present ISOCAM and ISOPHOT observations of the galaxy pair NGC 6090. The SED derived from all ISO measurements is typical for strong starbursts which were triggered by the tidal interaction. With ISOCAM observations we could resolve the two nuclei of NGC 6090 separated by 6'' in the MIR. The NE nucleus is the more active one, both in the optical and in the MIR.
