Ngc 6744

Heres my attempt at the Pavo galaxy.
Taken with 12inMeadeACF, mod Canon 50d, LPS filter on the Gold Coast.
95 x 3mins at 800ISO I had to throw out 20 other subs.
Cropped by about 20%

I found it difficult to extract the signal. Eventually I split the luminance out and worked on it separately. After combining RBG and working the saturation up a lot, its not too bad. Blown out the centre of the galaxy so I'll have to work on that with masks?

Cheers
