I took this one over last weekend. This is an interesting galaxy pair. They look as if they are associated, but in fact this is a nice example of one of Halton Arp's discordant redshifts. NGC1232B has a recessional velocity of about 5000km/s greater than NGC 1232, which, according to current theory and my calculations makes NGC1232B 200 million light years further away than NGC 1232.
Did you invert and look for the Sidonio jet? Perhaps you could pool your data with Mike and Greg Bradley to see what a bigger stretch might reveal?
Cheers,
Rick.
Hi Rick. I tried inverting and stretching, but nothing that could be seen without averted imagination. However, a contour plot on the inversion does seem to show some indications.

That's in the same spot... perhaps Mike isn't crazy after all
This is a great shot of this galaxy Geoff, well done...even if it only shows a slight hint of the Sidonio Jet One minor comment, to my eye it looks perhaps a tad Yellow and Blue but even so, it is quite appealing
