This galaxy exhibits an elongated, cigar-like morphology. The central region displays a higher concentration of light, appearing smooth and relatively featureless. The color gradient suggests a population of older stars, likely dominating the luminosity. There's a suggestion of some dust extinction or a distinct population shift toward the outer edges, giving it a slightly redder hue. Overall, the galaxy appears to be relatively isolated, showing no obvious signs of major interactions or recent mergers, though minor tidal disturbances cannot be ruled out based on the slightly irregular edges. Given the estimated size and luminosity, this galaxy may represent a moderate-mass system with a measurable but not exceptionally high rate of star formation.
