NGC 6744 is a barred spiral galaxy of Hubble type SBbc in the constellation Peacock. NGC 6744 has a magnitude of 8.3 mag and an angular extent of 20.1 × 12.9 arcminutes. This makes it one of the apparently brightest and largest galaxies in our night sky. It is about 33 million light years away from the Milky Way and has a diameter of almost 150,000 light years[4]. The galaxy has a clear spiral structure and there is a faint bar at its center. This consists mainly of old stars with a yellowish glow.
Red patches are visible in the spiral arms - clouds of gas and dust containing young, massive stars that emit intense ultraviolet light. This radiation causes the gas surrounding the stars to glow. In the optical spectral range, it reveals itself primarily through the reddish light of the H-alpha spectral line typical of hydrogen. NGC 6744 has an irregular companion galaxy with the designation NGC 6744A, which can be seen at the top right of the outer spiral arm.

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.
