  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.
