On another group a Richard Steinberg had posted an image of a quasar.
I examined an image of M 97 that I had never posted and, lo and behold, there it was:

An SDSS image of this object may be seen here:
http://cas.sdss.org/dr5/en/tools/chart/navi.asp?ra=168.76879&dec=55.02869
Since it has a g-filter mag of 19.12, many of you may have imaged this, too. I used a 12" reflector for this image.
This quasar has a recession velocity of 65.5% of the speed of light.
Thanks for looking,
dan
