3C 219; z=0.174

A member of a cluster of galaxies, this source shows five different companions of different types and a bright unresolved nucleus. As noted by  [de Koff et al.1996] 3C 219 appears to be interacting with the large companion to the southeast, however, [McLure et al.1999] modeled the WFPC2 image and found no evidence of such interaction.
