    Hello there. This is a #compact radio source that has its own infrared match you can see just beneath the radio contours.This is some distance galaxy. In fact SDSS survey tells me that the galaxy is around redshift z ~ 0.4-0.5.

    In addition what you can see in the infrared image is this really large bright relatively circular object with 3 spikes. This is very bright close-by star. It should be circular really, but because it is really bright it will get saturated and create this weird artefact spikes.

    Does it make sense?
