The galaxy presents as a flattened, elongated system, likely a disk galaxy viewed at a high inclination. The central region exhibits a concentrated, yellowish-white glow, suggesting an older stellar population and potentially a bulge component. Moving outward from the center, a bluer hue is noticeable within the disk, indicating the presence of younger, hotter stars and ongoing star formation. The disk appears relatively smooth in texture, though there are hints of subtle, disturbed features. The outskirts of the disk fade gradually into the background, lacking sharp boundaries, and there is a slight asymmetry in the overall distribution of light, possibly due to tidal interactions. The shape of the galaxy is cigar like. Overall, the galaxy seems relatively massive.
