Error on chart? PGC 3517878 (Answer: Update The IAPs)

Is this an error in SkySafari Pro? Searching Andromeda for galaxies I came across one labelled as PGC 3517878 which immediately raised some suspicion as the number is too long and detailed as mag 8 and 6x6 arc min which surely would be a notable Object. Looked at the DSS image and nothing there, searched Simbad and nothing shows either

    I find a lot of 7 digit PGCs but not 3517878. Where is it in Andromeda?

    It’s at RA 2 34 06, DEC +44 42 12 should have given this before 🙄

    Here is what I see at that location.

    What version of SS7 do you have?

    I know that there was an update to the database recently.

    We will likely see the new update to 7.5.2 this week.  In Version 5.2.1 is the new PGC catalog available in Settings - On Demand Data?  It adds 3+ million galaxies.

    That database is the latest.
