The galaxy appears as a moderately bright, elongated structure. Its overall color is bluish, suggesting a population of relatively young, hot stars. A slight reddish tinge is observed at the edges, possibly indicating some regions with older stellar populations or dust obscuration. The central region of the galaxy is somewhat brighter and less defined. The shape appears somewhat disturbed, but it could also be a close to edge-on spiral galaxy. There is a noticeable asymmetry in the light distribution along its major axis, indicating possible interactions or mergers. The galaxy does not show any distinct spiral arm structures in this view, implying a smooth morphology.
