Description

Finally, after months of overcast, I managed to get two consecutive nights to capture this cluster of galaxies.
I won't lie by saying that I had long planned to take a picture of this region. I was caught off guard by the good weather, and quickly looked for objects that were in a good position at my latitude. Fornax fit like a glove.
The result could be better, and I feel the lack of a light pollution filter like the L-PRO, but the outcome was "okay" for a Bortle 7 sky.
