Comment on the discovery of the QSO and related galaxy 2237 + 0305
A critical analysis of the discovery of Huchra et al. (1985) of a high redshift QSO (z = 1.695) in the nucleus of the galaxy 2237 + 0305 is given. Posteriori calculations of the possibility that a QSO of 17 mag lies within 0.3 arcsec of the center of the galaxy in the CFA redshift survey are presented. It is demonstrated that, in contrast to the conclusion of Huchra et al., it is very unlikely that the QSO and 2237 + 0305 are not physically associated.
