The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elongated system, exhibiting a cigar-like shape. A slight central bulge is visible, with a smooth transition to the outer regions. The color gradient suggests a possible red-shifting, and the estimated light distribution appears relatively even across the visible wavelengths, with redder regions on the outskirts. The structure doesn't show any prominent spiral arms or significant signs of recent major merging activity. There seems to be a minor disturbance or smaller companion nearby on the upper right side. There is also a region of lower surface brightness on the bottom which may be either tidal streams or galactic cirrus.
