Good eyes. It is a tiny guy. It is easier to see in the full size image. I had to reduce it to meet the bandwidth requirements.

The only info I can find on it is the 2masx catalog info which just says it is a galaxy and its coordinates are the catalog number.
2MASX J20461089+3055153

There're at least 3 more I can find in the full size image. Next easiest is at the very near the top left corner in a triangle of faint stars. The left one being slightly orange. It is smaller and more edge on. It too is a 2masx galaxy
2MASX J20462496+3104184
I didn't think it was in this reduced image but now that I look again I see it.

The others are seen only on the full size image as they look like 19th magnitude stars at this scale.
