The galaxy appears as a moderately small, elongated structure. Its shape is distinctly cigar-like. There is a noticeable central bulge, with the disk oriented edge-on relative to our line of sight. The galaxy presents a smooth overall appearance. The color distribution suggests active star formation is present. The colors show the galaxy's stellar population spans from very young to older stars. There are no signs of major interactions or mergers. Any disturbances in the disk appear minor, if present.
