The galaxy presents as a moderately luminous, elongated object. It appears to be a relatively smooth system with a notable lack of distinct spiral arm structures or prominent dust lanes. Its morphology is largely cigar-shaped. The color gradient suggests a concentration of older stellar populations toward the central regions, with a redder hue, transitioning to slightly bluer tones in the outer regions, potentially indicating ongoing, albeit subdued, star formation at the fringes. There are no obvious signs of major mergers or strong tidal disturbances in this image. Subtle irregularities in the light distribution suggest it may be experiencing minor gravitational interactions or minor disturbances.
