NGC 7499. For some reason SIMBAD has this as one galaxy in a pair. The others seem to be recorded as a cluster of galaxies. There's also a supernova in the mix (SN 1986M). The supernova is the fainter of the two objects above the target galaxy. If you have a look at SIMBAD it has a lot of information that you may be interested in.
