    Yet it seems to be the (radio faint) host of an odd, quite asymmetric bent, um, system:

    Interesting, eh? 😃

    The image in this post was created from sources, and using methods, described in this RGZ Talk post. The object at the center of the image is SDSS J141522.41+270318.2

    You're right! {insert embarrassed smilie} The radio (FIRST, NVSS) and SDSS images have different scales (as I should have noticed myself; there's an in-built check in the way I do these, the size of the radio image is 10.8'x10.8', but the optical one 9'x9' ... as the two are not the same, alarm bells should have rung!)

    I'll re-do it, delete the overlay which is there, and repost. DONE.
