Galaxy - Hydra cluster

I've just started working with long exposures - 10 minutes and longer on my ST7-ME having just got DEC autoguiding working. I was going to add more FOV's to this image, but clouds, moon and other circumstances prevented that for weeks and I now want to move on.

I've labelled PGC29012, PGC29017, PGC914194, PGC29054, PGC29053, PGC29052, PGC912992 and PGC192090.

I have put question marks next to objects that appear to not be stars, they look like galaxies to me but don't show up

I have put question marks next to objects that appear to not be stars, they look like galaxies to me but don't show up in TheSky as PGC's (or anything else). I'd be interested to identify them.

I quite like the structure of PGC29054 and PGC29053 and would like to get more data on them sometime.
