This galaxy presents as a relatively small, faint, edge-on spiral galaxy. Its elongated shape suggests a disk-like structure oriented with its plane nearly along our line of sight. A bulge is seen at the center, which is brighter than the outer edges. There appears to be a slight distortion on one side of the disk, potentially indicating minor disturbances or a possible interaction. Patches of blueish light are observable within the galaxy, most concentrated at the end of the disk that does not appear to be distorted, which may be signs of active star formation. Dust lanes are difficult to discern, but there may be faint indications of them within the disk. The galaxy exhibits a moderate red-shift, with the central bulge appearing slightly more red-shifted than the disk. Overall, this appears to be a barred spiral with a potential merger history.
