A strange thing happened while I was looking for V* WY Cas

So, I'm happily cruising between the vain queen, her giraffe and her daughter's hero (long story, see Formidine Rift threat) and thought, hey, take a look at Kemble's Cascade while you're here. Stopped at NGC 1502, and tried to find V* WY Cas in the galaxy map. No luck - tried every catalogue number I could find.

At one point, I accidentally forgot to add a number and simply searched AAVSO. Now, the galaxy map usually scrolls only down to -10,985 light-years. If you search for "AAVSO" ...

... it scrolls below that plane, briefly shows a group of pulsars, and jumps back up immediately. (Taking that screenshot took a few tries.)

I now have a new hobby - finding objects beyond the game map while my Asp's tank runs dry.

ps: If anyone knows the whereabouts of V* WY Cas, I'd be much obliged.
