3C 264 is a tailed radio source in the cluster Abell 1367[*]. On the arcsec scale there is a bright one-sided jet which is detected in the radio [Baum et al.1997,Lara et al.1999], optical [Crane et al.1993], and X-ray [Tilak2006,Padgett et al.2005].  [Baum et al.1997] note the existance of an inner dusty disk which causes an apparent ring in the galaxy surface brightness where the disk ends. The NICMOS image shows a bright nucleus, the jet and the ring noted by Baum et al. The data was previously published by [Capetti et al.2000b].
