The galaxy appears as an elongated, cigar-shaped object. The central region exhibits a bright, concentrated luminosity, suggesting a prominent galactic bulge or a high density of stars. The color gradient transitions from a yellowish-white core to fainter, reddish hues towards the outer edges. This could indicate a difference in stellar populations, with older, redder stars dominating the periphery and younger, hotter stars concentrated in the central region or areas of active star formation. The morphology suggests a disk galaxy viewed edge-on. There is no obvious indication of a recent major merger or significant tidal disruption and it looks fairly smooth. There may be some minor disturbances or faint tidal features present which could indicate minor merging.
