I could see a faint extension in the colour version and sure enough when stretched it looks awfully like a star jet, similar to those emanating from NGC 1097 only even fainter..?

NGC 1232

Possible Jet

Comparison with Deep UK Schmidt amplified image

Full Frame

Don't know about the "jets", however it is a very good image Mike
