Here is my try for NGC6744 from my light polluted site in North Curl Curl. I can only catch sight of NGC6744 when it passes over the roof of my neighbor's house until it hides behind a tree directly South of my setup. So, I've got about 3 hours/night. Now with the Moon on the way more data will need to wait.
TEC140/PMX Moravian G2-8300, Astroniomik LRGB + Hutech IDAS LP
I combined 3 hours of luminance with 3 hours of RGB to make the luminance channel = 6 hours total. RGB are each 1 hour 1x1. I now very much wish I had done RGB 2x2 and will do so when the moon goes away. I'll be curious to compare this result. In the past I have not been very happy binning colour at 2x2, but perhaps I need to try again on such a dim object as this. I have worked hard to get the colour on this one but I don't think I've succeeded very well. I wanted more blueish in the arms but got either greenish or reddish. I used HLVG but still think there is a greenish tinge. I think I just need more colour data to do any better.
Thanks for looking and your comments are always valued.
