Their mags are 16.1, 16.3, 14.7 & 14.7 respectively according to Guide 8. Your image shows them as mag 16.4, 16.0, x & 14.5

Ah yes I used Star Atlas Pro by Paul Mayo and I got the top two galaxies back to front but realised after I had posted but thought it was semantics really and close enough so just left it

And it's only 50% of the full frame too Craig, there are a lot of galaxies in our Universe for sure.
