Good grief, look at all the background galaxies!
Outstanding work as usual. The little elliptical
to the left is NGC-770. I believe that these
two galaxies are/were an interacting pair, which is
why one of the outer arms of 772 is distorted.
I might also add that this galaxy is cataloged
as Arp 78.

Here is a nice film image by Yuuigi Kitahara
which also shows quite a bit of detail...

Take care,
