Description

NGC 6744 (also known as Caldwell 101) is an intermediate spiral galaxy  in Pavo, down near the SCP. It also has at least one distorted companion galaxy (NGC 6744A).

I found this very tricky to acquire (guiding near SCP and south is more LP for me) and edit (as lots of stars through/around it).  I used every galaxy imaging trick in my book to pull this one out of a hat.  I took around 1100 mono subs, and used the best 500 of them for Mono (ASI1600), and complemented it by another 300 (from 600) subs from the 533 OSC.  Also added about 2hrs of Ha to it.
