NGC 2964 is to the left.
NGC 2968 with a redshift (z) = 0.00513 +/- 0.00001 and Heliocentric Radial Velocity v = 1539 +/- 3 km/s is the galaxy with the dust lane.
NGC 2970 with a redshift (z) = 0.00544 +/- 0.00001 and Heliocentric Radial Velocity v = 1630 +/- 2 km/s is the elliptical in the right corner.
SDSS J094332.57+315803.2 with a redshift (z) = 0.94684 +/- 0.00012 and Heliocentric Radial Velocity v = 283856 +/- 35 km/s is partially visible in the right corner.
There are some QSOs too, for example SDSS J094317.29+315450.6, with a spectroscopic redshift (z) = 1.566459
