The galaxy appears as a moderately bright object with a slightly elongated, cigar-like shape. Its color profile indicates a redder hue, suggesting a relatively older stellar population. While a small fraction of the galaxy's light has a bluer cast, it is a tiny percentage. There is a generally smooth appearance to the galaxy's structure, although minor disturbances in its morphology are present, possibly due to ongoing or past interactions. The galaxy might be merging with another, as there seems to be a disturbance of tidal tails, although the galaxy appears to be in the later stages of its merger, and there are no other significant morphological irregularities visible.
