Help with identification

Cropped image of NGC6744

the galaxy top right corner, the galaxy bottom right corner, and the other object at 4 oclock. This was taken with the Guidescope, and I would like to find out how far I pushed it with these faint fuzzies, none of which do I have any record of, Is there anyone with very detailed charts... please...

Shawn,

I have studied you image (and it's a beauty), but I am unable to locate your particular Galaxies.

Nothing in the area matches.

Here are the surrounding Galaxies marked on your pic, and a map of the area. I have turned it, twisted it. enlarged and reduced it, and mirrored it. Nothing.

I have studied further and have marked ALL the identified DSO's in your image

and pic 2 is the best Sky map I can find of the NGC 6744 surrounds.
