The galaxy appears as an elongated, cigar-shaped structure, suggesting it is likely an edge-on spiral or lenticular galaxy. It exhibits a central bulge that is relatively prominent and yellowish in color, indicating a population of older stars. Fainter, bluer regions extend from either end of the bulge along the main axis of the galaxy. This blue hue suggests the presence of younger, hotter stars and ongoing star formation activity, though seemingly at a modest rate. There is little visible dust, though it could be obscuring some features. There are no signs of a major merger in progress, although some tidal disturbances may be present given the slight asymmetry in its shape and the fuzzy edges of the visible structure. The galaxy appears relatively isolated.
