NGC 6744 - CC Welcome

This one was much harder to work with than I expected. It's actually quite faint, and there's a rich star field here which, when combined, makes it quite difficult to bring out the galaxy's details without overwhelming the image with stars.

Anyway, it's quite a nice FOV with lots of little galaxies floating around.

I may end up capturing more data on this, particularly Ha, but that will mean I'll have to process it again... sigh. Then again, I'll probably end up processing it 50 times anyway, and I still need to get rid of the weird colour hotpixels popping up around blown cores of the brighter stars.

A bigger view with gear/capture details is available on Astrobin.

PS: If anyone has any tips on multiscale processing in PI, they'd be greatly welcomed ;-)
