Classification Clarification Please.

What I see here is an object that really doesn't look round in any of the DSS2 to me but I understand the artifact exception aspect for the Blue. However, unless I've understood wrong it seems to me that this is loosely considered rounded for stars like this. With that aside for a second, it has an interesting jump in the SED at plot 4. Now in this particular SED it doesn't seem a good candidate to me but suppose it did have a more interesting SED. Would I want to consider this a good candidate or discount it on the not round in DSS2 option?

It could be a good candidate if it weren't a Be star.

About the not round in DSS, if it's from other spectral type and looks like this, it'll be probably #blended.

Ah, I see. Thanks for that link!!! Now I'm curios.., if a Be class (or type?) star is known for ejecting gas and material why would it not be considered a good candidate? Would that be because at this stage in it's life the surroundings would be too hot or liquid to contain debris (read solids) ?
