Recently, Marco Ajello et al. (2018) has estimated the total number of photons in the whole observable universe as:

$$N_\gamma \approx 4\cdot 10^{84}$$

on $$N_\gamma \approx 4\cdot 10^{84}.$$ On the other hand, the ratio of baryons to photons or the baryon abundance is defined as:

   $$\eta \equiv \frac{N_b}{N_\gamma} \simeq 2.75 \times 10^{-8} \; \Omega{_b}h^2$$

being being $\Omega{_b}h^2 = 0.0224 \pm 0.0001$ according to the Planck surveyor measures of 2018. All these numbers, suggest (if I am not confusing the data) that the total number of baryons in the universe is about:

$$N_b \approx 2.5\cdot 10^{75}$$$$N_b \approx 2.5\cdot 10^{75}.$$

My question ifIs this number is in agreement with other experimental measures of baryonic abundance (I have not been able to find a suitable reference), already taking into account the missing baryon problem?
