Description

A bit more than 2 hour exposure on a group of galaxies, the Fornax group, as a way to test the capability of the system. I am incorporating more stuff, like cable management using Pegasus Power Box Advanced, and next step will be autofocus, so still moving along the learning curve.
The Fornax group is a kind of neighbour set of galaxies to the local group, according to information available in astronomy sites on internet, it is the second closest, after the Virgo Cluster.
In order to get the whole group, for this scope, it will be necessary a set of 4 images in a mosaic.
