Aims. TV Ret was classified as a cataclysmic variable due to an outbu rst observed in 1977. We intended to confirm this classificati on and derive some basic properties of the system. Methods. Low resolution optical spectra were obtained for a spectral classification of the object. Results. We find that the object is not a cataclysmic variable but an emi ssion line galaxy with a redshift z = 0.0964. An R‐image taken in very good seeing conditions shows that the object is extended. Conclusions. We ...
