Hi Steffen

Thanks for taking a look and reporting back on what you have discovered.

I have attached a wider field view that shows the PLN 288+ 8.1 and a nearby Galaxy PGC 445548 as well as the "mystery" object.

The Galaxy is listed at mag 17.25 in The Sky X Pro.

The Sky X Pro shows PGC 34540 almost right on top of PLN 288+ 8.1

Cheers

Dennis
