NGC 6845 (also known as Klemola 30) is an interacting system of four galaxies in the constellation Telescopium. The Group has certain similarities with Stephan's Quintet. Their removal can be estimated at around 90 Mpc.

The components of the galaxies Quartet are the two spiral galaxies NGC 6845A and NGC 6845B and the two lenticular galaxies NGC 6845C and NGC 6845D. The four galaxies in the sky take an area of about 4 '× 2'. The largest galaxy of the compact group of galaxies NGC 6845A, a barred spiral galaxy in nearly edge-on position. In NGC 6845A SN 2008da was observed. As a companion to the group, the dwarf galaxy ATCA J2001 - 4659 was identified, the ' away about 4.4 and can be found north-east of NGC 6845B.

NGC 6845 was discovered on July 7, 1834 by John Herschel.
