This galaxy presents as a smooth, elongated object. The light profile appears brightest and most concentrated towards the central region, gradually diminishing outwards. The overall shape can be characterized as a cigar, with a significant difference in the apparent length and width. There is little evidence of distinct spiral arm structures or well-defined disk features. Subtle color variations are visible; the central bulge exhibits a yellow-white hue, possibly indicating an older stellar population. A slight gradient towards redder tones appears toward the extremities of the galaxy's light distribution. There is no strong evidence of ongoing major merger activity or significant tidal disturbances, although a very subtle asymmetry may suggest minor interaction or internal irregularities.
