Looking for an image

I am looking for an image that shows NGC 1549, 1553 and 1566 in one field.
Does anyone have one?
It is 1 degree from 1553 to 1566.
The map below is from SkyMapPro.
These 3 galaxies transit at about 1pm.

Thank you, I searched for ages using Google and couldn't find an image.
We looked at those three galaxies on Saturday night with the 12".
James Dunlop (1826) saw 1553 and 1566 but thought that 1549 was a star; a sad comment on the quality of his 9" reflector.

Here is his description.
Dunlop 331 = NGC 1553 A rather bright nebula about 1’ diameter, very faint at the margin, gradually bright to the centre: a small star north, and another south, both involved in the margin of the nebula. A group of very small stars north.
