We present preliminary results of a detailed photometric study of NGC 6702, from high resolution photographs taken at the Cassegrain focus of the Canada-France-Hawaii (CFH) telescope. The luminosity distribution of the galaxy follows an r1/4 law (re* = 11.6″, μe* = 22.17). The axis ratio is 0.75 (corresponding to the morphological type E3) and the position angle of the major axis is 60 and fairly constant. Fig. 1 is an image in intensity of the galaxy, from a 30mn exposure in B. The galaxy is crossed by a dust lane, reported first by Capaccioli et al. (1984).
