    Here's ARG0000qt2 a #doublelobe.

    The contour overlay image in this post was created from sources, and using methods, described in this RGZ Talk
    thread.

    The host appears to be SDSS J125217.51+471534.1, a very faint object, which is listed as a star, and has a DR6 z_ph=1.468 +/-0.021. There are a number of radio references for this object in NED, and the lobes have a description of #asymmetric #double.

    There is an ALLWISE reference NNW of SDSS J125217.51+471534.1, ALLWISE J125217.25+471539.5, which is more centred between the lobes. This could also be the host of the emission. Aladin image below. Red dots are ALLWISE sources and ALLWISE J125217.25+471539.5 tagged in blue.

    With regards to the classification comments left, it doesn't appear that SDSS J125217.34+471549.1 is the host of the emission, and therefore this is not an #SDRAGN candidate. Although there is an ALLWISE refererence for this galaxy, ALLWISE J125217.39+471549.9, there are no radio references in NED or SIMBAD for this object being the host.
