This is indeed an interesting group of galaxies,
and a fun challenge for visual observers.
Those Luginbuhl & Skiff guys observed the field
visually about 30 years ago, and you can see Chris L's
drawing on page 242 of their book --- made with the
24-inch Cassegrainian that at the time was at
USNO-Flagstaff.
The little galaxy on the lower-right end of
NGC 2820 in your photo is IC 2458.
