This NICMOS image shows a round galaxy with a bright
unresolved nucleus, several globular clusters and two unresolved
companions to the south. We notice a small asymmetry in the shape of
this galaxy with its northwest side more sharply defined than the
southeast one. [Zirbel and Baum1998] claim that this slight asymmetry
may be caused by a neighbor to the southeast. The jet of 3C 66B is
clearly visible in this NICMOS image after basic galaxy subtraction as
shown in section 5.
