I think there is only one visible dwarf galaxy in Fornax. I've seen it on my charts before but never observed it yet. It's not like the others in the Fornax cluster that are much farther away. This one is quite close and huge. Looks about 1 degree or two full moons in size. I'll have a look for it this w/e if we get some clear dark skies.
