GALEX J005856.38+422738.3 Globular Cluster?

• by williamaskew

  I just came across this object and looking it up in NED it was classified as VisS and in Skyserver,a galaxy. I realize SS often makes mistakes so we can skip that. In visual comparison to other globular clusters I have collected and its close proximity to M31 am 90% sure this is a G Cluster. Is there any way we can find out for certain and if so amend the NED Data to include this as a Cl*
