When I see in Navigate Tool - asteroid on 1:30 o'clock (ra=22.10130 dec=2.52264) is Galaxy.
Is it true?Posted

That is definitely an asteroid 😃
SkyServer is not always correct, as a lot of the tags are generated by various computer algorithms, and in this case it got confused between an asteroid and a galaxy!
Nothing beats the human eye when it comes to classifying 😃

Thanks.
Of course, I also saw the asteroid. But to these coordinates correspond to the galaxy. So - the asteroid blocked to galaxy? 😃Posted

There is no galaxy - it is a mistake on the SkyServer database 😃

😃 For a practice, I found the spectra for the asteroid to 358-51818-349 fiber of the plate, the red shift z = 0.0647, and save a pretty original image in my PC. Also, I found another asteroid in the upper right corner of the original image. 😃

That red shift number looks a bit odd ** - do you have a link? or the data so I can have a look?
**meaning the redshift indicates the object is way out of this galaxy.
