A couple of galaxy photos from Coona
As in the title and despite not being the best targets for my short focal length but I decided to give these couple of galaxies a try last months.

The first image is on Fornax A, NGC 1316, a lovely shell galaxy in Fornax that is very nice with her complex tidal shells and tiny dusty patches on the core. I wish I had a bigger telescope to get more details on the core but still something is visible.
NGC 1316

The second image is of NGC 4945 in Centaurus, irregular galaxy almost edge-on with complex dust lanes set in a very rich star field.
NGC 4945

Surely not the best images of these objects I have seen but I am happy to have them in my collection

Hope you will like them both
Clear skies
Marco

Both gorgeous images Marco.

You got a lot of structure in 1316.

Interesting images, Marco. NGC 1316 is quite a weird beast!

Two fine Lorenzi looking images

The 1316 looks quiiite familiar

NGC 4945 looks great sitting in all that galactic cirrus too

Not too sure about 4945...I think it's more of a narrow field object....but..

Bellissimo Marco! Your NGC1316 rendition is just sublime.

Your images are always stunningly fresh and imaginative to me.
Beautifully processed and a pleasure to look at as I always see something new in them.
Thanks for posting Marco.
