Description

First stage of imaging this diffuse elliptical galaxy, the Fornax Dwarf. I found quite difficult to capture due to its low luminosity, but on the other hand, is possible to see the tiny small yellow stars all over the galaxy, which is a kind of reward. 
Anyway, in the image there are a few clusters, including H1,H2, H3 and H5.

Fornax Dwarf is listed as ESO 356-4, what facilitate photometric colour calibration. In this case I did push too much the green to the left, but I will try to add a few more hours before doing a better analysis-
