Alex,
Nice image !!
Well done !!
Definitely Pavo Galaxy NGC 6744
It’s more elongated than M83 , M83 is almost circular, hence its name Southern Pinwheel
For identification , Goto and framing …..
I have all my images in a file on my iPhone going back 3 years , because I don’t plate solve , I use EQMOD and sync based alignment, I use Stellarium to select and Goto target and for identification and framing , I use my iPhone images and their Star asterisms to centre and frame up the object, seems antiquated but works , it doesn’t take that long at all
Glad to see you have sorted focusing and taking images with that big beast
Cheers
Martin
