SDSS J074215.90+252857.9 is indicated by SDSS as a galaxy, but visually, it looks like a #star. That being said, whatever's in that location producing a nice #diffuse #doublelobe ... maybe even a weak #triple

Just to note that AGN can also produce optical emission, which would then come from a very small volume and might produce the diffraction spikes you're seeing on SDSS. But I'm not very good at identifying stars/galaxies, so am only guessing.
