Fantastic shot Louie. This object is mostly overlooked for the more dynamic fair in the area but you show here how it can be a rather photogenic subject and the galactic cirrus thrown in there really boosts the appeal too, nice job mate :thumbsup:

A good result and an interesting target, Louie!

Wow, Louie. Well done, mate! With the venerable FSQ, too. :D

Hi Louie,
Nicely done with the black point to show the galactic cirrus.

cheers

Somehow you've made a dwarf galaxy look really pretty. I love the powdery appearance. It's a surprisingly photogenic field, when done right like you have. :)

That's a very good image Louie.

I love it!

Started a run on an obscure duo of galaxies myself - 2 hrs up my sleeve so far (and I am NOT sharing that dim data for laughter :) )

Thanks guys.

Nice cirrus Louie. And; certainly I am happy to admit that I have overlooked this object myself. Having an FSQ I really ought to do a run on this object.

Nice one Louie.
I will be aiming for the more elusive Sculptor dwarf.

This is a great shot. The Fornax Dwarf is really faint, despite being so close - indeed one of its globular clusters was found before the galaxy itself!

Look forward to seeing It Steve.



Paul,Steve and Barry thanks guys.

Geez that's a challenge Louie!!

Nice work!:thumbsup:

Tried a couple of subs on this but switched to another target. Might have another go after seeing this.

Cheers,

Justin.

That's extremely impressive Louie! One of the best pictures I've ever seen of this thing.
