The Southern Photometric Local Universe Survey (S-PLUS) aims at mapping ∼9300 deg2 of the southern sky using the Javalambre photometric system that includes 12 optical bands among which 5 are similar to those used by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and 7 are narrow bands tracing different spectroscopic features ([OII], Ca H+K, D4000, Hδ, Mgb, Hα and CaT). S-PLUS is being carried out with the robotic telescope T80-South of 0.826-m diameter which is placed at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) and it is equipped with a wide- field camera (FoV∼ 2 deg2). In this contribution we present the progress on a Diploma Thesis being developed at FCAG-UNLP. We analyze different sets of input parameters for the software of automatic detection and measurement SExtractor, in order to properly detect galaxies in the Fornax cluster on S-PLUS images.
