The galaxy presents as an elongated, cigar-shaped structure. Its primary color appears to be a muted blue, suggestive of ongoing star formation, though some reddening may be present. A slight central bulge is hinted at by the image, but it does not dominate the structure. There are possible minor disturbances present but it is generally undisturbed. The galaxy is relatively small in angular size, and its overall morphology points towards an early to intermediate stage of galactic evolution, but is not a spiral.
