NGC 7626 also an elliptical galaxy, apparent mag. 11.0, discovered by William Herschel in September 1785.

NGC 7623 a lenticular galaxy, apparent mag. 13.0, also discovered by William Herschel in September 1785.

NGC 7611 a lenticular galaxy, apparent mag. 13.0, discovered by Heinrich d'Arrest in September 1862.

Also present but too small and faint to be reveal much/anything are:

NGC 7608, 7615, 7617, 7621, 7631 and IC5309. With the exception of NGC 7617 (lenticular, mag. 14.0) these are spiral galaxies of the 14th and 15th magnitude.
