NGC 1316 in Fornax (APO120 Ra).jpg
This is the bright (magnitude 8.5) elliptical galaxy NGC 1316, aka Fornax A, in Fornax the Furnace. It is surrounded by faint tidal streams of stars, just recorded here, the result of collisions and mergers with other galaxies.
Just above it is the smaller elliptical NGC 1318. At top is the trio of: thr edge-on spiral NGC 1326A and companion NGC 1326B, and the barred spiral NGC 1326 with an odd ring shape. At right is NGC 1310.
Technical:
This is a stack of 15 x 4 minute exposures with the Askar APO120 refractor at f/5.6 with its 0.8x Reducer, with the Canon Ra at ISO 800. Taken from the Quailway Cottage in southern Arizona, October 2024. Galaxy details brought out with Starizona's GalaxyEnhance action and Nik Color EFX Detail Extractor filter.
