Help in identifying Galaxy - Identified

I was trying to image NGC7331 with my 5" scope and 20D and I came up with the following image. My goto must have been off as it isnt 7331 but some other galaxy but it must be in the vicinity. Can some kind sole help identify the field as I really am suffering from some sort of manic inversion phobia/ADD/dyslexia and cant identify it on charts.
Thanks Allan

I had a look at the NGC7331 area wuth Star Atlas Pro, I cant see anything in that area that could be it. I wonder what direction the GOTO was off by

Thanks for your effort Scott, I may have pressed a wrong button - so Ill slowly trawl thru DSS to see what it could be.

Finally managed to identify my obscure galaxy by trolling through NGC/IC catalogue. Its NGC7140 a Mag12 galaxy 6x4 arcmin in size. Not bad for the exposure and scope used.
