UGC 6945 is a pair of interacting galaxies. The galaxy to the northwest has an angular size of 0′.8 × 0′.6. It is in a disrupted state because of the interaction. About 40″ to the southeast is a normal-looking second galaxy with an angular size of 0′.35 × 0′.35. Based upon a radial velocity of about 10500 km s−1 this galaxy pair is located at a distance of 175 Mpc (570 Mly) (assuming a Hubble constant value of 60 km s−1 Mpc−1).
