This galaxy presents as an elongated, cigar-shaped structure with a relatively smooth overall appearance. The central region exhibits a bright, concentrated core that diffuses outwards, transitioning into a less luminous, extended disk. There appear to be minimal distinct features such as spiral arms or prominent dust lanes; the overall structure appears somewhat amorphous. The color gradient suggests a redder core possibly due to older stellar populations, which gradually shifts towards bluer hues in the outer regions, indicative of ongoing, albeit weak, star formation. There is some evidence of minor tidal disturbances or faint extensions emanating from the galaxy, possibly suggesting a past or ongoing interaction with another galaxy or intergalactic matter.
