Very nice nameless galaxy cluster near NGC5338

While processing some old image series, I had a serie of a few galaxies. Nothing special. Exposure  9x200 seconds with a 100 mm APO F/5.8 and an ASI1600 camera. But then I noticed a large amount of unsharp stars near NGC5365. Further investigation indicated they where all galaxies. The cluster has as a far I know no name.

A small part of above image around NGC5365. De unsharp stars are galaxies.

Annotated and the cluster marked with a rec circle.

I've studied this area quite a bit recently, having captured a few of these fuzzies in one of my own images. It's a mesmerizing image for two reasons:

1) That we can capture such images with amateur equipment.

2) To contemplate what it shows us. Sir Bernard Lovell once wrote a book called "In The Center of Immensities" it was, for me, an underwhelming book but what I title!
