Description

NGC 6503 is a field dwarf spiral galaxy located at the edge of a region of space called the Local Void. The dwarf galaxy spans 30,000 light-years and lies approximately 17 million light-years away in the constellation of Draco.

Imaging NGC6503 seems uninteresting: It is a featureless, symmetrical and unassuming galaxy until the very last stages of post-processing: Only when going non-linear using the PI ‘Arcsinh’ tool, it presents subtle, detailed and colourful features
