Description:
Situated close to the galaxy NGC 6703, but this one is significantly fainter, although they have the same apparent size. It looks like an ellipse, a tiny little bit elongated in the N-S direction, however the view is very uncertain. For a mosaic featuring both galaxies, please click here.
