8C 1241+735 is a radio galaxy located in the constellation of Draco. The redshift of the galaxy is (z) 0.075[1] and it was first discovered as a bright astronomical radio source by astronomers in July 1996.[2] Subsequently, this object has been identified with a 17 magnitude galaxy according to a study by M. Stickel and H. Kuehr[3] and contains a radio spectrum that appears mainly flat, thus the classification of it being a flat spectrum radio source.[4][2]
