The galaxy presents as a somewhat diffuse, elongated object with a slight central bulge. Its overall color is predominantly yellowish-orange, suggestive of an older stellar population, although some bluer tints are visible in patches, possibly indicating areas of more recent star formation. The galaxy's apparent edge-on orientation makes it difficult to discern spiral arm structure, but the narrow shape suggests it is a disk galaxy viewed from an angle. There is a smaller, fainter object nearby that could be either a companion galaxy or a background galaxy. The main galaxy appears relatively undisturbed, showing no significant signs of ongoing major mergers or tidal disruptions.
