The galaxy appears as a relatively smooth, elongated structure. Its color is a pale bluish-white, suggesting a moderate population of young, hot stars, but there also appears to be some yellowing within the central regions. The ellipticity is notable; the galaxy presents a cigar-like shape, indicating it is not viewed face-on. No distinct spiral arms or significant dust lanes are visible, hinting at a galaxy that is transitioning from a spiral to a more lenticular or elliptical form. There is no obvious indication of any major ongoing merger activity or tidal disturbances within the immediate vicinity of the galaxy; however, there may be some minor distortions visible. These distortions could be a potential indicator of past interactions or minor disturbances.
