Contour map of the eastern lobe of NGC 541 observed at 21 cm (van Breugel et al. 1985) with 3′′ resolution, as extracted from the VLA archive, overlaid on a slightly smoothed stellar continuum image from HST in the F555W filter (data from the HST archive, PI: Baum). The observed positions are shown by the CO(1−0) 22′′ and CO(2−1) 11′′ IRAM 30 m beams (circles). Details of Minkowski’s Object are shown on the left; they show that the spot is resolved into sub-structures.
