I lost count at 30, altho some of those might be behind the cluster.
The central elliptical galaxy appears to be surrounded by a couple dozen satellite globular clusters. The edge-on spiral at the 7:30 position from the central elliptical is displaying an equatorial dust belt. The two galaxies at the 4:30 position from the central elliptical seem to be interacting, since the upper right member of the pair appears to be badly distorted.
A truly remarkable photograph. Many thanks for sharing!

I would wager there’s a LOT of people who never look skyward.
Simply too focused on the tiny little bubble of their own lives to be bothered by the amazement of the endless possibilities of the universe above them.
One of my coworkers (whom I have sent several meteor videos to)…. Sent me a text all excited that he had witnessed a fireball! And a green one at that!
I missed it, which is a bummer, green meteors are relatively rare, I’ve only seen a handful.
But in his 35 years of life, he’d never seen a fireball meteor before! …Always looking down.
I’ve witnessed dozens of fireballs, thousands of meteors (shooting stars). And now two deorbit falls (satellites or space debris burning up) . Because I’m looking up at night as often as I can!
