  Has anyone seen the same bluish haze between the 2 lobes before?

  I'm not sure what you mean here. I see two faint radio objects with a comparatively bright IR object between. I think it's a pretty clear identification.

  Welcome to Radio Galaxy Zoo, chairgaf!

  The "bluish haze" may, if the slider is ~midway between radio and IR, be a combo of the bright IR (showing as yellow-ish white) and deep blue radio emission not bright enough to have contours drawn. If so, I've seen such bluish haze many times ...

  Happy hunting! 😃

  The bluish haze may or may not be real. It can be faint diffuse emission between the bright compact spots, or it can sometimes be instrumental effects. In this particular case, it seems like a combination to me. The diagonal line going across the whole image, bottom right to upper left, is an artifact.
