star ?

  Hi,
  this image looks nice to me with 2 beautifull lobes. when looking at the SDSS image, it is categorized as a star. Is it really a star or a nearby black hole ?
  thanks for the answer.

  In SDSS, just above (to the N) of the star is a galaxy, SDSS J011427.11+105851.2. Fortunately, it's got a BOSS spectrum: z_sp = 0.609, some very prominent, fairly narrow emission lines ... I think this galaxy is the likely core/host.

  Here it is in SDSS:
