Starhopping in Fornax

Well okay i cheated , instead of starhopping i used a little gotoing while taking up the Sky and Space mags Summer starhop in fornax {page 54}. From a urban location its a little tough but with help from the articles descriptions and a detailed map its amazing to see and figure that so many galaxies inhabit a certain feild of view . The area around NGC1399 and NGC1365 you can pick out quite a few although for the main they are faint fuzzies but stand out from the surrounding stars .

Nothing wrong in late 2004 with "Go To'ing"
Starhopping is great and I still use it.
If you have "Go To" then enjoy.



Best.
