Description

Big, beautiful spiral galaxy NGC 6744 is nearly 175,000 light-years across, larger than our own Milky Way. It lies some 30 million light-years distant in the southern constellation Pavo. It covers an area about the angular size of the full moon.

This result surprised me! In preprocessing phase I didn't expect so much of my raw data, but, in the end, everything was fine.

I hope you enjoy it!
