Dear Hitoshi,
The 11th magnitude star is indeed visible on your nice picture, just under (South of) the centre of the Southern bright starforming region. The 12.5 star is not obvious and is located just South of the centre of the galaxy, just under the dust lane. The two 14.5 stars are in the region between the two described foreground stars, one is visible just NNE of the brightish 11th magnitude star.
It looks there is also a foreground green cabbage at the Eastern side of the dustlane... What do you think?
Best regards,
Berto

How about AAT image?

I guess this star is visible in AAT image, wrong?
