NGC1365 and Fornax group from Snake Valley

This is from Saturday night before it closed in.
NGC1365 with Super Nova SN2012fr still quite bright in the upper right and a number of other galaxies in the Forax group along the lower part of the image.

Seeing was excellent for a short time around midnight and I managed to get about 70 minutes or so before the clouds stopped us for the night.
Would love to be there tonight as it looks good but you can't have it all your own way.

Anyway
ED80 with field flatener and Pentax K5 SLR
50 minutes of 5 min subs and the remainder are 6 min subs.
No darks or flats but I'm pretty happy with what I got. My new SX Super Star guide camera is working a treat so now it down to business.
