NGC6744 and its companions
NGC6744 is a face-on spiral galaxy in Pavo. Also visible in the image are several faint galaxies - NGC6744A, IC4823 and IC4820 plus at least two others.

The image was made from sixty 300-second subframes taken with an ASI071MCPro camera and a Skywatcher Esprit 100mm refractor on an EQ8 mount. Average guiding RMS of 0.11 arcseconds (best I have ever achieved).
