NGC 3596 is an intermediate spiral galaxy in the constellation Leo. It was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel in 1784. It is located below the star Theta Leonis (Chertan). It is a member of the Leo II Groups, a series of galaxies and galaxy clusters strung out from the right edge of the Virgo Supercluster. It does not have a cool name like other galaxies.
I processed a three images using Pixinsight. The top two images was taken with my 9.25 SCT. The bottom image was taken with my CarbonStar 200.
