The galaxy presents as a somewhat elongated, diffuse object with a moderate central concentration of light. The overall color appears to be bluer, suggesting a population of younger, hotter stars, although this is tempered by a significant amount of dust obscuration, visible as slight reddening throughout the galaxy's extent. The galaxy does not exhibit prominent spiral arms or a well-defined disk structure. There appears to be some evidence of tidal features or disturbances, indicating a possible interaction with another galaxy in the past or in the process of merging. The shape of the galaxy is significantly elongated, with a major axis noticeably larger than the minor axis, indicating a flattened structure. There is some variation in color across the galaxy.
