Arrow NGC1365 and the Fornax Galaxy Cluster

Hi all

This image was taken on Tuesday night at our local darkish sky site, the Mangrove Mountain Pony Club on the Central Coast of NSW.

The image is of NGC1365 and the Fornax Galaxy Cluster, including NGC1399, NGC1404, NGC1387, NGC1381, NGC1382, NGC1389, NGC1386, NGC1379, NGC1374, NGC1375, NGC1373, NGC1427, NGC1369, IC1963, NGC1380 and probably more

Taken with the ED80 + unmodded 350D on the EQ6, auto-guided with the DMK21AF04.

12x 300s subs, plus 1x 600s sub all @ ISO800, sigma-median combined in ImagesPlus. I didn't take any darks on the night, but subtracted darks from a previous session. No flats.

I'm pretty happy with this shot, nice when it all comes together.

I've also attached a full-res crop of NGC1365.. small and grainy, but some good detail still. I'll take it
