NGC 6503 is a field[8] dwarf spiral galaxy [dubious – discuss] in the northern constellation of Draco.

[5] It is located at a distance of approximately 20.9 million light-years (6.40 Mpc) from the Milky Way galaxy.

[4] NGC 6503 may form the remote tip of a long chain of galaxies that extends out into the local void, forming a galaxy filament spanning 26 million light-years (8 Mpc).

[6] A possible bar system has been reported via infrared observations, being viewed end-on from the perspective of the Earth.

[11][12] Ultraviolet observations show a young, inner star forming ring encircling the bar.
