Hubble Space Telescope WFPC2 optical image of PG1426. The SDSS image in Figure 1 shows more of the host galaxy structure. However, in the SDSS image the core of the source is saturated. Here we see the central few arcseconds of the system where the central supermassive black hole powering the quasar is surmised to be. The 3" x 3" NIFS field-of-view covered the bright central source. The total size of the field shown is 22" x 17".
