This one seemed extra red. It just felt like I had to do more work to get the colors even close to balanced. Maybe it's a bit more redshifted than some of the others. I really ought to look up z before I do each one... according to its entry at Simbad, this one has a spectroscopic z of around 0.659—pretty far! Don't ask me what that is in light years. It's much easier to just say it's far... for reasons. Deep, cosmological reasons.

Note the bright blue arc. I find this is an excellent example because each image of the galaxy is so easy to discern because it contains a repeating pattern. Three times, in fact. How does that work? If you look closely you can see that it is three mirrored and stretched images of the same galaxy.
