Mehh... Fornax has been done to death.
With the exception of a couple of interesting galaxies, the cluster is an unremarkable population of featureless ellipticals.

I would be looking at interacting galaxies in Pavo, Iridanus, Dorado.. or maybe even 1808 & 1792? (in Columba) <-- These two would be perfectly framed in a 1 degree field and have multiple layers of background PGC galaxies to make the composition interesting.. Best of all, they are (relatively) bright, have a peculiar morphology (they are both 'star burst' galaxies) and are rarely imaged by hammer-chewers...

Untouched, low hanging fruit with a bit of novelty... win - win.

best
