Description

NGC1316 - Fornax A - s an amazing galaxy. It is highly disturbed and even at 35 million light years distance, huge in extent.  While not "colourful" it is certainly a highlight for southerern observers.  

I took 15hours of Fornax A data last month and was pleasantly surprised to discover that Telescope Live has also observed it this week.   

The TL data gives just that little bit of extra sharpness, but my backyard data does help with the depth.
