Went to see your profile photos. VERY impressive. You should be justly proud.

There’s another very tiny, very faint galaxy at about 8:00. It looks a bit like the planet Saturn with rings. It is visible better in the magnified image.

Follow the arc of those three brighter stars below and slightly left of the main image.

Mtn. Climber! This picture is incredible! Spinning off a lot of gas and dust reflecting the light defines it, makes it beautiful.

This is a spot in the sky that most of us probably cannot see. Glad to live in a time of cameras and computers.
