  Now that I have, touch wood, got my browser to stop displaying crazy things (see this thread for details), I'm going to produce SDSS images overlaid with FIRST contours [1] of selected, hopefully interesting, objects posted in any of the The Objects sections of RGZ Talk.

  

  The host of the hourglass seems to be invisible in the SDSS image, and the host of the compact is the S of the 'merger' pair.

  [1] Details of how I produce these can be found in this thread.

  Boilerplate: SDSS image per http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR10/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx, FIRST contours derived from FITS files produced using SkyView with Python code described in this RGZ Talk thread. Image center per the ARG image (left; J2000).
