Extract

The radio source PKS 0511-48 is among the hundred strongest southern sources at low frequencies. It was catalogued in the Parkes survey (Ekers 1969) and mapped with the Molonglo Cross at 408 MHz by Schilizzi and McAdam (1975) with a resolution of 2′ .6 arc. It appeared in that work as a complex source, with an integrated flux density of 8.8 Jy. A search for optical identifications was made by Tritton and Schilizzi (1973), but none were found to a level of B ~ 19. We have inspected the field on the ESO B survey film, and find a group of ~ 20 faint galaxies (approximately 19-20 mag).
