Possible Lens: Ukidds vs SkyServer Image (from Galaxy Zoo)

  Hi all,
  I came cross this image from galaxy zoo and it was suggested I post here for further study:

  That's very neat, @jedkat - definitely a possible lens candidate, just from glancing at it. Redder colors (as we see in the UKIDSS images) are possible lenses. I'd suggest maybe cross-posting a screenshot of this on the SpaceWarps Talk and see what the experts there have to say.

  obviously this is a ukidds image. I looked this picture up in skyserver and could not find any indication of lensing or an arc, but in infrared it does look to have some features. Any help would be appreciated

  Here is the skyserver link:

  thanks!
