The galaxy presents as a reddish, elongated structure with a high degree of central concentration. It is significantly longer than it is wide, exhibiting a cigar-like morphology. A smooth, diffuse halo surrounds the central bulge, fading into the background sky. There is little evidence of spiral arm structure or significant dust lanes, suggesting a relatively smooth distribution of stellar populations. The overall color indicates a dominance of older, redder stars, possibly indicating an older stellar population with relatively low current star formation. There may be minor disturbances in the morphology, but overall the galaxy appears relatively undisturbed with no signs of a major merger or tidal interactions.
