I just rechecked that I was not dreaming when I wrote my previous post. Looking at "The Southern Sky Guide" (SSG) by Ellyard and Tirion (1st edn, 1993) and "Stars and Planets" (S&P) by Ridpath & Tirion (2nd edn, 2001), within the boundary of Fornax, we have:
... in SSG:
Galaxies: NGC 1316, 1365, 1399, 1398, 1097
Planetary: NGC 1360
... in S&P:
Galaxies NGC 1097, 1316, 1365
This is fairly typical when it comes to galaxies and planetaries. Lots more of them in SSG.
But the descriptions in S&P are much more in-depth, and if you can find a 2nd edition copy (3rd is the latest but no diff) you could pick up a bargain. I got mine for $8 at a bookshop sale.
