NGC 6744 Galaxy - A galaxy similar to the Milky Way

NGC 6744 is a spiral galaxy believed to be similar to our Milky Way, however, NGC 6744 is almost twice the diameter of the Milky Way.

It is about 30 million light years away in the southern constellation of Pavo (the Peacock), and is as bright as 60 billion suns.

I always wanted to record this wonder of the sky, fortunately this year I managed, were 4 nights to make the most of frames and try to make it.

Galaxia NGC 6744 - Uma galáxia similar à Via Láctea

NGC 6744 é uma galáxia espiral que se acredita ser semelhante a nossa Via Láctea, no entanto, a NGC 6744 é quase o dobro do diâmetro da Via Láctea.

Está cerca de 30 milhões de anos-luz de distância, na constelação do sul de Pavo (o Pavão), e é tão brilhante quanto 60 bilhões de sóis.

Sempre tive vontade de registrar essa maravilha do céu, felizmente esse ano consegui, foram 4 noites para aproveitar o máximo de frames e tentar fazer ela.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
