Deep diving into the NGC 4656 image, I see a few small fuzzies...
Right or west main galaxy, there's a small spot, with a dim centre. It is not a well-formed oval. SkyTools 3 Professional calls this LEDA 1983264.
Left or east of the big galaxy is a tiny, bright spot, with fuzzy edges. Somewhat ovalish, ST3P says this is LEDA 1981071.
North or above the hook of the main galaxy, there's a very tiny oval shape. Aladin and SIMBAD refer to this galaxy as 2MASX J12440773+3215100.
Top-right corner of the frame, there's a small soft shape. Perhaps a distant canted spiral. Not identified.
Near the right edge of the shot, north-west of the bright double stars, a see a small oblong fuzzy patch. SIMBAD says: the NGP9 F268-2024645 galaxy.
Just below, due west of the main galaxy, I think there's a lot going on... I think there are many small faint galaxies centred around star J124304.2+321027. A galaxy group?!
Finally, at the tip of the hook there appears to be a small canted spiral galaxy. This is referred to NGC 4657 in SIMBAD (but not SkyTools).
