Hi,
 

This is an image of NGC3521. This spiral galaxy is about 26 million light
years away in the constellation Leo. This is a flocculent spiral galaxy.
Flocculent spiral galaxies are patchy, with discontinuous spiral arms. Since
it is in Leo there are dozens of background galaxies in the full frame
version.
