Description

Happy Festivus folks... finally some clear skies, Santa kept the cloud away on Xmas Eve which also happened to fall around new moon... what choice other than a nice cluster of galaxies... so many galaxies... featuring Fornax A / NGC1316 and some of its more prominent dust lanes.

Not sure if it is meant to have such a long tidal tail heading up to the top right section?

Anyone know? Asking because I'm using a new (to me) reducer with a doublet it is possibly not optimised for... and I often have a large ring artefact in the centre that is hard to calibrate out... could be that.
