The galaxy presents as an elongated, cigar-shaped structure, predominantly smooth in appearance. A bright, concentrated central bulge dominates the visual profile, suggesting a significant concentration of older stellar populations. The color gradient shifts from a yellowish-white core to a more reddish hue in the outer regions, potentially indicating dust absorption or a difference in stellar populations, with older, redder stars being more prevalent in the outskirts. One arm extends from the core, appearing to be a subtle feature, possibly a spiral arm or tidal tail. The absence of distinct, knotty blue regions suggests relatively low ongoing star formation within the observed portion of the galaxy.
