Comment

 

NGC 1530 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation of Camelopardalis, at a distance of about 115 million light-years from our Milky Way.
The galaxy was discovered in 1876 by the German astronomer Wilhelm Tempel.
NGC 1530 was used by Gérard de Vaucouleurs as an example of a galaxy of the morphological type "SB(rs)b" in his atlas of galaxies.
NGC 1530 has a luminosity class II and presents a broad 21 cm line of neutral hydrogen. Furthermore, it is a field galaxy, that is, a galaxy that does not belong to any cluster or group of galaxies and is therefore gravitationally isolated.
Given its surface brightness of 14.10, NGC 1530 can be classified as a galaxy with low surface brightness (abbreviated in the English literature as LSB, acronym for Low Surface Brightness). LSB galaxies are diffuse-type (D) galaxies with a surface brightness at least one magnitude less than that of the surrounding night sky.
