    What is happening in the 2MASS imaages. The star seems to become extremely fuzzy and highly pixelated. Is this Okay? Other than that i think it is a good candidate. Am i wrong?

    The fuzziness comes from the fact that the object is faint in 2MASS images -- the noise in the background is the mottling in the background.

    And yes, other than that, I'd agree it's a reasonable candidate.
