The authors have observed MR2251-178 through narrow-band filters isolating the redshifted [O III] λ4959/5007 lines. The [0 III]-image shows that the underlying galaxy is filled up by hot gas. Furthermore it shows three shell-like filamentary structures surrounding the QSO-galaxy reaching distances up to 110 kpc. The authors are not able to confirm the presence of a vast H II region extending 200 kpc to the south-east announced by Bergeron et al. (1983). From the off-band continuum images they estimate that the QSO-galaxy is fainter than the central cD of the surrounding cluster by 0m.8, but brighter than the remaining galaxies. No [O III]-emission was found in the cD galaxy or in the two elliptical galaxies close to the cD.
