This is more an exercise in resolving power from a light polluted location than a masterpiece, however I was determined to pick out Leo 1 (a dwarf spheroidal galaxy) above Regulus. It’s seen as the large faint smudge above Regulus in this capture, with galaxy IC 591 (mag 14) tiny, but visible to the right. Regulus is 75 lt years distant, Leo 1 is 800,000 lt years distant:
