The galaxy presents a clear, elongated morphology, appearing significantly longer than it is wide. It exhibits a smooth, diffuse light distribution across its primary body, suggesting a relatively evolved stellar population. A subtle color gradient is observed, transitioning from slightly bluer hues towards the outer regions to a more reddish central area. This could indicate ongoing star formation in the outer disk and a concentration of older, redder stars in the galaxy's bulge or core. There is only a subtle hint of any spiral arm structure. The overall appearance suggests a disk galaxy viewed at a high inclination, close to edge-on. The regular shape implies a lack of significant ongoing or recent major mergers, though minor disturbances cannot be ruled out.
