The galaxy presents as a somewhat smooth, elongated structure. Its morphology appears to be cigar shaped, with a high degree of ellipticity. There is a concentration of light towards the center, with a radial falloff in surface brightness. There is some evidence of color variation within the galaxy. The central region appears to be more reddish, possibly indicating an older stellar population. The outer regions tend towards bluer hues, which may indicate recent star formation. There is no evidence of a spiral structure or significant dust lanes. The overall appearance suggests a disk galaxy, likely of late type. The red shift of the object appears to be low, meaning that the galaxy is relatively close to us. Overall, the galaxy appears to be a relatively evolved system, showing a transition in its stellar populations from the center towards the outer regions.
