NGC 3521 (UGC 6150, 1103+0014)

NGC 3521 (UGC 6150, 1103+0014) -- The central diffuse light distribution in the UV image of this Sbc galaxy has a double-peaked appearance, apparently because it is crossed by an obscuring dust feature. The feature is reminiscent of the X-shaped dust lanes in M51 (NGC 5194; see below), but this requires confirmation with data of higher signal-to-noise ratio (S/N).
