Description

I really love this galaxy!!! NGC 3521, is a spiral but has the subtle Ha jet which was really hard to bring out, and dust bubbles, likely from encounters and mergers long ago with satellite galaxies. 

Thank you for Mike at throughlightandtime for the awesome data. 
Imaged in LRGB and H alpha on the PlaneWave CDK 1000 and CDK 700 at Observatorio El Sauce, Chile.
Integration Time: L 15 hours RGB 5 hours each. Ha 15 hours.

Processed in Pixinsight and Photoshop. Deconvolution in Maxim DL. 
The jet was blended in using Blend on top of the R extracted from the non linear RGB and combined back.
