It is part of a group of galaxies known as the Hercules Cluster and is notable for its distinct spiral arms and bright central bar structure. Discovered by astronomer William Herschel in 1788, NGC 6676 has a visual magnitude of about 14.5, making it faint and challenging to observe with small telescopes. Its unique features and position within the Hercules constellation make it an interesting subject for both amateur and professional astronomers.
