Another image in my galaxy series with this new large aperture Planewave CDK17.
Arguably the prettiest Southern Galaxy, NGC6744 is close to the South Celestial Pole.

I was surprised at how much signal I picked up with only 3 hours. I guess that is why the
mantra of "aperture rules".

I will probably do more on this one.

FLI Proline 16803, Paramount ME, Planewave CDK17.

Niec one, Greg. The center looks a little green though. I am, however on my work monitor so maybe its the monitor.
