At the northern edge of Pisces, a small elliptic galaxy in the lower part of this image is NGC410 positioned at 2.5 degrees south of β Andromedae (Merach). The galaxy has long axis and apparent brightness of 2.5 arc minutes and 12.5th magnitude, respectively. You can detect other minor galaxies of NGC407, NGC414 and so on around 5 arc minutes east from NGC410.
At about 20 arc minutes of NGC410, we can see a galaxy cluster of Abell 156. The cluster contains about 65-member galaxies look like grains of rice in a span of 25 arc minutes.
