Abstract
We have observed the nearby spiral galaxy NGC6503 using Chandra. Seven
discrete sources associated with the galaxy have been found, one of them
coincident with its Liner-starburst nucleus. One of the sources
corresponds to a ULX with Lx >~ 10e39 ergs/s. Previous ROSAT
observations of the galaxy show that this source has varied by at least
a factor 3 in the last 6 years. No evidence is found for strong diffuse
emission in the nuclear region or the presence of a low luminosity AGN.
