Description

This image of NGC 3521 was taken on the nights of April 3-4, from i Telescope's western Utah site, with very fine Bortle 2 skies.  
NGC 3521 is in southern Leo, and is about 26 million light years distant.  It is an SAB type galaxy. 
2 hours integration; 6 * 5 min for each filter, using L, R, G, B filters.   FOV is about 36' x54', and I cropped off about 1/3 of image. 
A fine object visually also.
