Is this object a galaxy? Its SED seems like it could be one.

Does this means it's an undesirable target?

Guess I have to leave with the feeling that at least I've discovered a nebula. What kind of a nebula is it though?

It is may be a nebula or possibly be a star behind a cloud of dust, light of the star makes it visible dust cloud
