Description

This is an image of the Galaxy NGC6744. It is about 30 million light years away in the constellation of Pavo (the Peacock) and is thought to be very similar in structure to our home galaxy - the Milky Way. The light data for this image was captured during the months of July and August and was processed using the Pixinsight v1.8 astro image processing software. If you take the time to scan around the image you will find many more small galaxies as well lurking about in the background. Happy hunting.
