The galaxy appears as a single, relatively smooth object with a slightly elongated, cigar-like shape. There is a lack of significant spiral arm structure or prominent dust lanes. The light distribution indicates a generally uniform structure, with a somewhat brighter core. There seems to be a possible second component of this galaxy, which is a smaller and dimmer light source. There is a small chance that the components are interacting with one another. The overall color suggests a population dominated by older stars, which would contribute to its relative smoothness and lack of distinct features. The absence of blue light indicates a low rate of current star formation.
