Comment on J2246-1206 . In contrast to the jet pointing to the NE in our image, the 5 GHz VLBI image of Shen et al. (1998) shows no indication of extended emission above the 20 mJy/beam level. Hong et al. (1999) find a jet component to the SE and identify that with a "superluminal" component possibly ejected in 1992. A 15 GHz image from the USNO database, taken nearly at the same epoch as the image of Hong et al. (1999) does not show any component at this position angle. ...
