1987 Symposium - International astronomical union  
Results are presented of optical imaging of the low redshift BAL QSO 1411+442, in four colours. The host galaxy is revealed as an inclined spiral galaxy with a long arm which may be a tidal tail. There also appears to be connecting luminosity to two nearby objects. There is a straight blue feature emerging from the nucleus and Ha emission from an oppositely directed filament. [O III] appears to be enhanced in some outer regions. While the host galaxy is more exotic than usual for QSOs, it is
