The galaxy presents as a somewhat elongated, cigar-shaped structure. The central bulge appears prominent and exhibits a yellowish-white hue, suggesting a population of older stars. The outer regions of the galaxy are less defined, with a more diffuse and bluish color indicative of ongoing star formation. The galaxy exhibits a relatively smooth appearance overall, with no obvious spiral arm structures or significant dust lanes visible in this image. There is a slight tilt to the galaxy's disk relative to our line of sight. The outer halo is very faint and hard to distinguish. The axial ratio suggests it is significantly flattened.
