I checked this interesting source in VizieR, SDSS J123103.38+580635.2 is an confirmed quasar (VII/280 - The million quasars V5.2 Flesch, 2017).
The SDSS J123103.87+580638.2 greenish-blue object is catalogised star. Its radio contour is interesting, it is good candidate for quasar.Posted

I agree that SDSS J123103.38+580635.2 (zph 1.545, per NED) is likely the host of the nice #triple in ARG00007g5. And I think the right-hand image you posted is good evidence for that association.
By the way, how did you produce that right-hand image, may I ask?

I download the fits files (FIRST, WISE, etc) from skyview (0.05 deg 1200px) and SDSS ( http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu).
Interesting, but SDSS scale not equivalent with skyview!!!
0.05 deg skyview matching with 0.15 deg SDSS ( http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu), same 1200px resolutions.
First step - I processed the fits files with Fitsliberator software and converted to tif image.
Second step - I colorized tif images with imagemagick software.
Third step - I combined the processed images with GIMP.Posted

Thanks.
That's quite impressive! 😃
How much familiarity do you have with Python? If you have some, you may find this thread interesting: I'm thinking of making the 'FIRST contour overlay' Python code I wrote available to any zooite ...
