The above image is a reproduction of a 1m-Schmidt plate obtained at the La Silla Observatory and published in the "Exploring the Southern Sky" book by S. Laustsen, C. Madsen and R.M. West . It shows the Fornax Cluster of galaxies. The prominent member, NGC 1365, is seen at the middle bottom, while NGC 1350 is in the upper right. By moving your mouse over the largest of these galaxies, you will be able to see their name.
