A nice image Rick and a great shot for a first image of a galaxy. NGC6744 is a bit of a toughy and is quite faint.
Its also hard to get a nice colour balance with this one compared to other targets.
So a couple of pointers;
Firstly star sizes seem a little large. Did you use deconvolution on the luminance?
Also see Ken Crawford's tutorial on multiple deconvolution. It can extract more detail which is the name of the game in galaxies.
3rdly the galaxy is bluish with a yellowish core. Your galaxy looks a little grey. Also stars are lacking in colour. So colour can be boosted here.
Selective colour tool is good for boosting individual colours and shades.
Also see free Photoshop plug ins from Neil Fleming for boosing colour saturation and dust in galaxy images.
Cheers,
Greg.
