The Bubble Galaxy

My final bit of processing from a recent dark sky visit.

The Bubble Galaxy NGC 3521. Kinda cool that the shell is apparently the remnants of cannibalised satellite galaxies

About 9 hours of luminance and 4.5 RGB. RC8 and ASI1600MM-C on a Mach1.

Full res on Astrobin.

Comments/suggestions welcome.

Edit: Oh, and it must be pointed out that it's a flocculent spiral. Great word!!
