    Hi @Chinabob,
    Yes, this looks like 2 individual sources.

    The rings are the contour lines showing the radio intensity of the source when you slide the slider all the way to the "infrared-only" image. The contour lines should align with the radio intensity map that you see if you slide the slider all the way to the "radio-only" map. However, sometimes there may appear to be a slight difference between the radio contour lines and the radio intensity map.
