Another clear night here last night, and with the gear already set up from the night before I decided it was time for a bit more of a challenge. This is my longest sequence of sub exposures yet: 41 x 8 min subs @ ISO800 of the spiral galaxy NGC6744 in Pavo. I've cropped the shot as i'm getting a red 'glow' around the edge of the full frame that i'm still trying to address. (see my other M83 thread from yesterday)
I've also included a further cropped enlargement which shows off a bit more of the detail.
A good start I think. Obviously need some more data to bring out those outer arms a bit better, although some careful processing magic would probably help too. If it's clear tonight i might have another go to add to the image dataset.
As always, comments/advice welcomed
