The southern queen of Galaxies NGC6744

Arguably one of the prettiest galaxies in the southern hemisphere. Also said to be one of the most similar in appearance to the Milky Way it is unfortunately a dim target.

Recent AP Riccardi Honders at my dark site observatory plus previous dark site CDK17 data for a total of 28 hours comprises this image.
Cameras were FLI Proline 16803 and QHY600mm.
