Discovery page update

As I am back to creating new CSOG editions, I am scrutinizing imagery for parts of the sky that I did not explore before. Doing so, I came across a galaxy in Virgo and a (reflection) nebula in Aquila that are - to the best of my knowledge - unknown and undesignated, so I added them to my list of potential discoveries.
