The galaxy appears as a diffuse, elongated structure. Its dominant color is a yellowish-orange hue, suggestive of an older stellar population. The morphology is broadly smooth, lacking any prominent spiral arms or distinct features, though there are slight irregularities. The overall shape is more akin to a cigar, with the light more concentrated in the center of the galaxy. There is no evidence of any major mergers or strong tidal disturbances. It exhibits only slight, if any, hints of recent star formation.
