NGC 6703

A very small, faint and round galaxy with a distinctly brighter centre and no visible internal detail.

Observation notes

NGC 6703 appeared as a very small, round and relatively faint galaxy. It showed a clear central concentration, with a noticeably brighter centre and a smooth fall-off in brightness towards its diffuse outer region. No further structure could be discerned. The galaxy lay just below an imaginary line joining two fairly prominent field stars, making it relatively easy to locate.
