Steve, that's particularly interesting to me, as I also recently photographed the same area (at 200mm). A quick glance at it only showed a very few galaxies (which all appeared nearly stellar). I'll have to try the star chart overlay technique to see how many galaxies are really in there. Thanks for the idea!
