Super-zooite c_cld posted this in the (now closed) GZ forum, back on February 01, 2012, in the Active galaxies with ionized gas clouds - more denizens of the Zoo thread:
SDSS J084002.36+294902.6 1237660961862189211 87GB 083657.9+295941 -- Seyfert 2 / z(~) 0.06484 pink cloud in N of disk ;D
Later he gave the morphological type as Sc D~ (I do not know from which source). See also his post on February 26, 2014 (copied here, in RGZ Talk, but good luck trying to find it!).
Host is SDSS J084002.36+294902.6, z_sp 0.065, and the SDSS automated spectroscopic pipeline classifies the central - within 3" (dia) - spectrum as QSO AGN BROADLINE:

, FIRST (red) contours derived from the FITS file produced using SkyView with Python code described in this RGZ Talk thread. Image center is the galaxy SDSS J084002.36+294902.6, near the ARG image (ARG0001qln; J2000.0). "z_sp" is an SDSS spectroscopic redshift of the galaxy in the center.Posted

First time to see this, indeed spectacular image, and agree we are just tourist in the scene of things we encounter, to quote c_cld!
