    Again an overlap?, or a real #nat with host SDSS J085319.46+385238.9.

    Red lines are FIRST contours, orange dots are AllWISE sources, blue dots SDSS sources.

    Looks spiral on BASS DR2 (Beiging-Arizona Sky Survey).

    I agree that the host is most likely zsp 0.128 SDSS J085319.46+385238.9, partly because the spectrum is clearly that of an AGN. However, rather than arms, what shows in the optical images may be shells, making this a shell elliptical. Still, a nice #sdragn candidate! 😃

    @JeanTate thank you very much for your comments, they encourage me to keep searching and learning.

    Yes, I agree, It hadn't occurred to me that coud be a typical shell structure. The BASS image still seems to have at last two arms for my eyes, but is more consistent with the SDSS image to think in shells.
