ARG0002igt: a triple, with a faint, fuzzy blue host?

    What an odd host it seems! 😮 Certainly not an elliptical; if at z~0.1, it seems small, and blue, like a tiny spiral perhaps, or an irregular.

    But more likely it's a distant object of some kind, perhaps a faint QSO? and the SDSS pipeline messed up its zph.

    What do you think?
