Good candidate or galaxy?

    Could use some help with this one - looks good, but does SED suggest probably a galaxy?

    It seems to me that this object is a little elongated, in addition it seems that there is a second object in the circle, so I probably wouldn't choose that this is a good candidate. Most likely galaxy.

    According to NED it's galaxy: http://ned.ipac.caltech.edu/cgi-bin/nph-objsearch?objname=2MASX+J17154375%2B3916479&extend=no
