galaxies near the Horsehead nebula

Hi all, still cloudy here, with showers this morning. This image was taken last year with 160mm Astrograph. Had a close look over this image and found 3 galaxies. The first link is to a full size image =4MB.

This galaxy is above the Horsehead, the red spire can be seen at the bottom of this crop.

These 2 galaxies are to the right of the Horsehead, with only the bottom one listed in The Sky 6.

Hope the skies clear soon.
