The two galaxies at 7-8 PM are visible on the DSS, but appear stellar. The colorized WikiSky image shows them very well (zoom in on NGC 3081). Neither object is in NED or HyperLeda, so they don't appear to have galaxy designations, though the one on the east (left) side is in the 2MASS point-source catalogue as 09593161-2249525. NOMAD lists a B magnitude of 19.9 - don't know if that's reliable. The galaxy on the west (right) side looks like another ring of some type.
