In the upper right corner is NGC4292, a 12.2 magnitude galaxy of unknow type. Directly above NGC4292, probably off the frame, is NGC4292A, a magnitude 15 galaxy which I do not claim is in (or even near) this image. This image was over-processed a bit. The gamma stretch put too much distance between black and the dimmer parts of the galaxy.
