The galaxy presents as an elongated, cigar-shaped structure with a relatively smooth overall appearance. Its core exhibits a yellowish-orange hue, suggesting a population of older stars and a diminished rate of star formation. The galaxy gradually fades towards its edges, displaying a faint bluish halo, which hints at a younger stellar population and ongoing, albeit moderate, star formation activity in the outer regions. A small, distinct red patch is observed near one end of the galaxy, potentially indicating an area of intense star formation or a background object. There is no apparent evidence of major mergers or significant tidal disturbances.
