The galaxy presents as an elongated, cigar-shaped structure. The central region exhibits a concentrated luminosity, appearing yellowish-orange in color, suggesting an older stellar population. Extending outwards from this core, a fainter, diffuse halo can be observed. There is a subtle transition in color from the central bulge towards the outer regions of the galaxy, with the halo exhibiting a slightly bluer hue. This may be indicative of more recent star formation occurring away from the galactic center, though at a low rate. The galaxy appears relatively undisturbed, with no obvious signs of major mergers or tidal interactions. It presents as largely smooth in overall texture.
