This is the cD galaxy of an Abell class 2 cluster
[Prestage and
Peacock1988] with a close bright and round companion to
the southwest. Two possible nearby companions are visible within the
halo of the galaxy, about 1'' north of the nucleus. These two possible
companions were also detected by [Martel et al.1999] in their WFPC2
image. In the near-infrared, they appear unresolved.
