Hi Mike,
Wow! Thanks for taking the time to annotate the image!
I first spotted the bright one whilst comparing your image to Aladin.
It's instructive as to how many galaxies, some of them pretty bright
and obvious, have been overlooked in the surveys.
Like - let me look at my watch here - we are already in the year 2019.
For example, when you compare PGC 830139 with the one I asked about,
it's interesting how multiple surveys spotted the first but not the later.
So just in that one FOV, we have discovered Gary's Galaxy and Mike I
and Mike II and that's not counting the more obscure little ones in there.
Actually, I really like your annotated image. If I saw that annotated version
inside a marquee at an astrophotography competition held about 3 hours
north-west of Sydney, I'd think, "Wow! This person is discovering all
this cool stuff", and I would vote for it.
