The galaxy presents as an elongated, cigar-shaped structure with a relatively smooth texture. The central region exhibits a concentration of light, appearing brighter and more yellowish-red in color compared to the outer edges. There is evidence of a possible tidal interaction or minor disturbance with a nearby, smaller object. This companion object appears more diffuse and circular, located slightly above the primary galaxy in the image, with a similar yellowish-red hue. The main body appears to be distorted or stretched, likely due to these gravitational interactions. There appears to be some dust obscuration towards the center. Overall the morphology suggests a system that is transitioning, possibly merging with another galaxy.
