[5] The morphological class of NGC 6753 is (R)SA(r)b,[8] indicating it is a spiral without an inner bar feature (SA), displaying outer (R) and inner (r) ring structures, and moderately wound spiral arms.

It is being viewed nearly face-on with a galactic plane inclination by 30° to the line of sight from the Earth.

[10] It has a hot, X-ray luminous corona[6] that extends out to a radius of 50 kpc.
