Nice one Greg, I haven't seen the mentioned interstellar nebula before on this. Definitely something that will inspire me in the future.

highlighting the flux nebula as well as the star tidal stream coming off of NGC3628. Something is robbing it of stars. Perhaps just out of view of the image.
There is also an interesting dual stream of nebula coming off that bright star in between the 3 galaxies.
