NGC 1530 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the Camelopardalis constellation.

About 3/4 of the gas is in the bar, and the narrow dust lanes along the bar are created by shocks in the interstellar gas due to the potential of the bar.

It is about 112 million light-years and has 140 thousand light-years of diameter, making it a larger galaxy than the Milky Way.
