Magnificent!
A beautiful contrast between the two galaxies brought out by careful processing: one has tightly wound but faint spiral arms and a very bright warm coloured centre, the other has a small central bar and loosely wound arms with intense star formation.
As you said, the field is studded with distant galaxies and is pretty and fun to explore.
Extremely deep for 9 hours, suggesting dark skies and excellent processing.
