UGC 6541 is a blue compact dwarf galaxy in the constellation of Ursa Major. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 455±14 km/s, which is too small to use to obtain a distance using Hubble's law. However, 10 non-redshift measurements give a mean distance of 15.15 ± 2.10 Mly (4.644 ± 0.644 Mpc). The first known reference to this galaxy comes from Erik Holmberg's A Study of Double and Multiple Galaxies Together with Inquiries into some General Metagalactic Problems, published in 1937, where UGC 6541 and UGC 6538 are listed together as Holm 263. However, since UGC 6538 is about 10 times further away, at a distance of 158.3 ± 11.1 Mly (48.55 ± 3.41 Mpc), the alignment is purely optical.
