Description

This is a deep optical mosaic of the Fornax cluster’s core, covering 1.6 square degrees. The data were acquired with ESO/MPG 2.2m/WFI, using a transparent filter that nearly equals the no-filter throughput and thus provides a high signal-to-noise ratio. Based on an approximate conversion to V-band magnitudes, the unbinned and binned mosaics (0.24 and 0.71 arcsec/pixel) reach a median depth of 26.6 and 27.8 mag/sq.arcsec, respectively.
