The galaxy presents a notable elongated morphology, appearing somewhat cigar-shaped. Its light distribution is generally smooth, with no readily discernible spiral arm structures. There is a central concentration of light, suggestive of a bulge. The overall color is predominantly redder than the surrounding field, suggesting a population of older stars and/or significant dust obscuration. However, bluer light is also present in the central region, implying that this is also an area of active star formation. There is a slight possibility that the galaxy might be interacting with a smaller nearby object, given a minor structural disturbance. Overall, it appears to be a fairly massive galaxy that may be a transitioning spiral, on its way to becoming an elliptical galaxy.
