 ) on astronegatives, collected in Ukrainian NAS Main
astronomical observatory plate archive (1976-1996). All the plates with 
the possible object appearance are digitized using Microtek ScanMaker
9800XL TMA flatbed scanner and have been placed into Golosiiv Plate 
Archive database DBGPA with open access to them.
