  How do you think what is it 0.665-1.15? Edge-on of spiral galaxy?

  I do think it's a galaxy, yes, but I'm not sure what kind.

  Here is the page from NED on it. Not a ton of information, but some. http://ned.ipac.caltech.edu/cgi-bin/objsearch?search_type=Obj_id&objid=2810284&objname=1&img_stamp=YES&hconst=73.0&omegam=0.27&omegav=0.73&corr_z=1

  My best guess is that it is some type of edge-on spiral galaxy, but we cannot tell more from these images. The dust emission could either be from star formation, a central black hole, or both.
