Results are presented of optical imaging of the low redshift BAL QSO 1411+442, in four colours. The host galaxy is revealed as an inclined spiral galaxy with a long arm which may be a tidal tail. There also appears to be connecting luminosity to two nearby objects. There is a straight blue feature emerging from the nucleus and Ha emission from an oppositely directed filament. [O III] appears to be enhanced in some outer regions. While the host galaxy is more exotic than usual for QSOs, it is not obvious how these properties are connected with the BAL phenomenon.
