The galaxy presents as a relatively small, moderately distant object with an estimated redshift of z ≈ 0.17. It appears elongated, displaying a cigar-like shape. The object is characterized by a smooth overall appearance, lacking distinct spiral arms or significant irregularities. There's a subtle color gradient visible, trending toward bluer hues in the central region. This might indicate some on-going star formation activity concentrated near the core. There are no immediately obvious signs of major mergers or significant tidal disturbances in the image, though some minor distortions are possible. The light distribution is relatively concentrated.
