Hi Mike,
well - it seems like Hubble zoomed in on only two of them here:

Also - the 2 other bright galaxies in your image are:
IC 4845 and IC4842.

A further note:
we are also in a cosmic dance as part of 3 galaxies:
Milky Way, Andromeda M31 and Triangulum M33.

The fate of the Triangulum galaxy
It’s well known that the Andromeda galaxy is moving toward our Milky Way and that a collision between the two galaxies will occur some 4 billion years from now.
Meanwhile, the fate of the Triangulum galaxy isn’t known for certain. It might someday be torn apart and absorbed by the Andromeda galaxy. It might participate in the collision between the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies. Two other possibilities are a collision with the Milky Way before Andromeda arrives or an ejection from the Local Group.
