Description

The dwarf galaxy NGC 6503, according to NASA lies 18 million light-years away in what appears to be an empty patch of galactic space, referred to as the Local Void. The lone field dwarf galaxy sits by itself at the edge of the Local Void, in the constellation Draco. There were 142 sub-frames used to capture the image of NGC 6503, cooled to -21.2C, with a camera gain of 230. A 6.5 APO triplet refractor was used at F/7 to capture the image and a one-shot color CMOS camera was used.
