ARG0000mny: asymmetric triple? Cosmic coincidental alignment with a bright star?

    Here's the field, per FIRST:

    And here is the SDSS field, cross-hairs on the brightest FIRST source (photometric objects marked by cyan circles):

    Perhaps the core is a distant AGN, so distant (or faint) that it doesn't show in WISE? Or perhaps it isn't a triple?

    Here's the contour overlay.

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

    As per the ARG comments left, this does appear to be a #triple, #noIR, #nooptical. There are radio reference in NED for SDSS J084143.04+491919.1, which is listed as a #star. This object is NE of the W lobe.

    In SIMBAD there are radio references for an object which is E of SDSS J084142.36+491911.7, near the E edge of the W lobe. However, there doesn't appear to be a photometric object listed in SDSS DR15 at this location.

    This ARG field hasn't been imaged in VLASS as yet.

    Maybe this is an #asym #hourglass, with a #nooptical host? I think your contour overlay makes it pretty clear that SDSS J084142.36+491911.7 is unlikely to be a/the host.
