Description

I’ve partnered with three other astrophotographers to set up a Takahashi TOA130 at Deep Sky Chile. The images are such a joy to process because of the incredibly dark skies… not to mention access to all of the southern gems, this being one of them! NGC1365 is a stunning barred spiral (top right), and here you can see it with many of its friends in the Fornax Galaxy Cluster.

(Note: the filters used were 2" filters, not 36mm as listed above.)
