Description

NGC 3521 is a flocculent spiral galaxy, displaying fluffy and discontinuous spiral arms. The cloudiness surrounding the galaxy are tidal streams of stars and gas produced as a result of previous interactions with other galaxies.
In this image I have just used the Luminance data for the galaxy and surrounding tidal streams; RGB data for the stars only.
