The galaxy exhibits an elongated, cigar-like morphology, suggestive of an edge-on or highly inclined spiral or lenticular galaxy. It appears relatively smooth in structure, with a centrally concentrated brightness profile that decreases gradually towards the outer edges.  There may be a slight warp at either end of the galaxy. It displays a blueish hue. There is no apparent evidence of significant recent or ongoing mergers or major tidal disturbances.
