Description

NGC 6744 in the constellation Pavo is considered to be nearly a twin of our Miky Way in terms of size and structure. I processed a large set of raw images provided by Telescope Live. The images had been acquired through the 24" RC telescope CHI-1 in Chile, equipped with a modern CMOS camera. Image processing was easy and straightforward for this object. Because of noticeable differences of seeing in the luminance datasets, I used only 25 of 34 luminance subframes for integration.
