Thanks Rob. As far as APOD goes I was about 2 days late. Take a look at the
APOD from 8/10. â¹

Bernard, you get a lot of feedback like - "great image." Now this is a Great
Image! Super sharp from corner to corner. Lots of contrast between the black
background and all of the white surrounding stars, as well as 6744 itself. It
is also amazing that the arm that spins in the upper left is so far away and
yet still associated with, and pulled along by the mass of the galaxy. This is
for sure APOD worthy, you should submit for that.
I also notice that the aspect ratio of this image is 3:2 rather than the
typical CCD square image. My eye tends to like 3:2 better, probably from DSLR
photography. Is this aspect ratio the result of the capture equipment in
Australia, did you crop the image, or something else? great image!
Rob

Hi,
This is an image of NGC 6744. It is a spiral galaxy about 30 million light
years away in the constellation Pavo. It is thought to be one of the most Milky
Way-like spiral galaxies in our immediate vicinity, with flocculent
(fluffy) arms and an elongated core. It also has at least one distorted
companion galaxy (NGC 6744A).
Comments and suggestions welcomed.
