The galaxy presents a distinctly elongated morphology, appearing as a flattened, cigar-shaped structure. Its overall color profile suggests a mix of stellar populations. The central region exhibits a yellowish hue, which potentially indicates the presence of older, redder stars concentrated in the galactic bulge. Extending outward from the center, the galaxy displays fainter, bluer regions which may denote areas of ongoing star formation within its spiral arms, although any spiral arm structure is poorly defined or unresolved in this image. There is some indication of a dust lane bisecting the galaxy. The galaxy's light is centrally concentrated, with a smooth falloff in intensity towards its outer edges.
