The galaxy presents as a smooth, elongated object with a cigar-like shape. It exhibits a central concentration of light, appearing brightest towards the core, with a gradual decrease in luminosity towards the outer edges. The color profile suggests a predominantly older stellar population, indicated by the reddish-yellow hue of the central region. Fainter blue regions appear in the outer edges, indicating a small amount of ongoing star formation in the galaxy. There is no readily apparent spiral structure or distinct features indicative of recent major merger activity. Minor disturbances may be present but the overall structure seems relatively undisturbed.
