Yes, there are lots of galaxies. The image is very stretched to show the QSO but when it is less stretched the galaxies are more evident as they look more like stars in this image.
The starlike image just above the QSO is another galaxy. When I first looked at the pic I thought that it was the QSO but it's coordinates are not quite correct.
There is another QSO in the field at mag 20.1 but I coudn't find anything at the coordinates- just too dim.
I have a few more hours of images from other nights. I might try to add them all together and see whether the other QSO can be seen.
