Galactic cluster ?

Hi All

I took this last week when I was searching for M61, my EQ6 goes loopy every now and then and can't find anything. Anway it was 2 degrees off M61 apparently ... and it looked interesting in focus mode as I searched so I shot half a dozen 360sec shots. There were lots of satelites etc and one had a flaming great meteor streak ... didn't use that one. I count 13 galaxies. Does anyone know if this cluster has a name ?

I also reprocessed the Leo Triplet image from ealrier post with a bit of added data.
