Description

NGC 6744 is a Magnitude 8.5 elongated spiral galaxy about 30 million light-years away in the constellation Pavo and approximately 175,000 light-years in diameter and 20'x13'  arcminutes in size.
Similar  to the Milky Way, but much larger. 

One  more night of good seeing, despite it traversing quite low, boosted me to 13.5 hours of RGB Data.
Time to get whittling again: from 165 subs down to 75 in sub-frame selector.
Definite improvement but GHS helps a lot.
