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
