The galaxy presents a generally smooth morphology with an elongated, cigar-like shape. There is a distinct central bulge which appears yellowish in color, suggesting an older stellar population. The extended disk, which is not clearly resolved into spiral arms, exhibits a bluer hue. This suggests the presence of a younger stellar population and ongoing star formation, although star forming regions are not clearly visible. Minimal signs of tidal disturbances or ongoing mergers are apparent in this image.
