The object is a relatively small, faint galaxy, likely an edge-on spiral or lenticular galaxy viewed from a considerable distance. Its morphology is elongated, cigar-shaped with a high degree of smoothness throughout. There is a slight central concentration of light, suggesting a possible bulge. No distinct spiral arm structure is visible. The overall color is slightly blue, indicative of ongoing or recent star formation, although not at a high rate, which seems mostly concentrated to the central parts of the galaxy. There is no evidence of major mergers or significant tidal disturbances. The lack of visible dust lanes, given the edge-on orientation, may indicate that this is a late-type spiral with minimal dust content. The smooth appearance suggests it could also be an S0 galaxy with star formation occurring.
