    Boilerplate: SDSS image per http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR10/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx, 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 J120301.43+235319.9, in the NE quadrant of the ARG image (ARG00023wq; J2000.0). "z_sp" is an SDSS spectroscopic redshift of the galaxy in the center.
