Description

Hidden behind the large stars of the Milky Way lies NGC6744, this beautiful spiral galaxy. The dense starfield around it makes the faintest arm structures a little bit hard to reveal, but I really liked how it came out and I hope you too!

Something to notice is that the color of some stars were badly affected by the seeing conditions and the lack of RGB data.

As always, constructive criticism, comments and suggestions are more than welcome in the comments section.
