Does non-existent constitute "not round"?

  There doesn't appear to be visible signal from this in DSS2 Red, and little signal in DSS2 IR. Does this qualify as "not round" or is that meant for things that positively appear to be of a different shape?

  no, it is simply strongly reddened/hidden by interstellar dust.

  not round is usually used to spot galaxy/agn.
