UK Schmidt image, λ4680A, width 4 arcmins.
Notes
This FRI radio galaxy is a wide angle-tail source; this is clearer in the image presented by Baum et al. (1988).
The optical spectrum reveals weak Hα + [NII], but no [OIII]λ5007 or [OIII]λ3727. The continuum spectrum is typical of early type galaxies.
