NGC 1316 and NGC 1317

Here's an image of NGC 1316 in the Fornax cluster and its close companion NGC 1317. Although NGC 1316 is the brightest galaxy in the Fornax cluster it isn't often imaged because NGC 1365 usually gets all the attention. It's a difficult one to process because of the intense central condensation. Rolf Olsen imaged this a while back and did a better job I think with a smaller telescope - oh well.

Cheers

Steve
