New Planetry Nebula or Galaxie?

I was looking at galaxies in Microsoft World Wide Telescope when I came across a very odd object near NGC 4261 ( An active galaxy). The object is reddish and is shaped like a Planetry nebula but there is no indication of a central star. If the object is a galaxie would be irregular. The object may be accosiated with NGC 4261. The object is not in the sloan digital sky survey but it is in the les powerful digital sky survey. The object looks like it is 16 mag. Heres a picture-
