Description:
Compact, but surprisingly bright galaxy, with an fuzzy stellar core. Thanks to this and its tiny diameter, at small magnification it looks like the member of a stellar path flowing in the N-S direction. With larger FoV it fits together with NGC 6702, but in that case its shape becomes too compact. This shape is like a rhombus with W-E elongation.
