Two native brothers #Oleg and #Serhiy with the callsigns "#Astap" and "#Astap_Menshiy", as well as their stepfather #VadymOleksandrovich "#Sam" have been defending our country since mid-spring.

Their desire is to be together from home until Victory. The path to the DSHV lay, as in many others, through a specialized training center, then distribution to the 46th Airmobile Brigade, which was being formed at that time.

We are proud of our defenders 🇺🇦

In my recent photo of NGC 1485, which was already a tiny object for my 127mm refractor, I noticed a faint galaxy nearby. I was curious if there was a way to look up details. I acquired the coordinates using #ASTAP software and used the #GLADE+ catalog at https://vizier.cfa.harvard.edu/viz-bin/VizieR?-source=VII/281 to search based on partial coordinates. The galaxy has 2 entries, one from #2MASS survey showing a magnitude of 16.2 and one from #HyperLEDA survey showing 18.0 mag.
