I should have positioned M106 a bit higher in the frame; then UGC7282 would likely have fit into the shot as well.

I think it won't fit on this sensor (11x11 mm) with a 700mm focal length. In any case, I've noted it for the future. And I also corrected the frame name to make it accurate. Thanks!

It will fit perfectly, and with a rotation, UGC7290 will also fit in.
