NGC 6744 in Pavo good seeing

Well eventually I got there.....
Here is the target I meant to get 2 nights ago.

NGC 6744 is described as "one of the most Milky Way-like"
galaxies in our neighbourhood.

Tonight, as I made my 'pre-processing coffee' once packed up,
I looked down on the kitchen counter at the USB 4Gig stick
with these raws on it.
It dawned on me that on there was a snapshot from 25 million
years ago of a galaxy just like ours if I was lucky.
