The observed galaxy presents as a moderately luminous, elongated structure. Its morphology appears to be primarily smooth, with a distinct lack of spiral arm structures or prominent dust lanes visible in this image. The galaxy exhibits a color gradient, transitioning from a bluer hue on one end to a redder hue on the opposing end. The overall color suggests a population of primarily older stars. The smooth appearance implies it could be an elliptical galaxy, or possibly a lenticular galaxy seen edge-on. There is no visible evidence of any ongoing major merger activity or strong tidal disturbances.
