3C 79; z=0.255

A galaxy with elliptical morphology, elongated north-south. The image shows two companions: one bright unresolved source less than one arcsecond south of the nucleus, and the other one to the north. 3C 79 shows a complex morphology in the optical, with no compact nucleus [de Koff et al.1996].
