The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elongated structure. The central region exhibits a higher surface brightness, appearing more concentrated and slightly yellow-white in color. Moving outward from the center, the light becomes more diffuse and appears slightly bluer. The overall shape is cigar-like with no immediately apparent spiral arm structure or distinct features indicative of ongoing major mergers. There are no prominent dust lanes visible in this image. The galaxy appears to be undisturbed with perhaps a minor disturbance.
