Description

NGC3521 reminds me of M63, but shrouded in a cloud. I really like the triplet of small distant galaxies to the lower left of 3521. Shot over two nights at my remote 'dark' site, that sadly is not as dark as it once was.  The light dome from Atlanta to the south was quite prominent and caused signifiant gradients especially in the Lum channel.
