Why is the infrared so eccentric with the radio source - or am I just wrong with my observations?

It's an #hourglass, two radio lobes with a central source. The IR source is a bright star with a bunch of galaxies (a rich cluster) in the same part of the sky, making it very hard to work out what the core/host (the galaxy containing the AGN which produces the radio lobes) is.

I think that the core/host is SDSS J080712.94+230110.6, one of two giant (interacting?) elliptical galaxies with a spectroscopic redshift of 0.360:
