The galaxy appears to be an elongated, cigar-shaped system with a relatively smooth morphology. There is a central concentration of light, suggesting a nucleus or bulge. The light distribution is somewhat diffuse, possibly indicating a lack of well-defined spiral arms or prominent features. The color appears to be a pale blueish-white, perhaps signifying a moderate amount of ongoing star formation. There may be some minor dust lanes visible. There are no obvious signs of a major merger event, although the morphology appears slightly disturbed.
