The galaxy appears as a flattened, elliptical-like structure, viewed edge-on or at a high inclination. The central bulge is moderately bright, with a yellowish-white hue, suggesting an older stellar population. The disk exhibits a bluer color, indicative of younger, hotter stars and potential ongoing star formation. The edges of the disk are not sharply defined, showing a gradual fading into the background, indicating a smooth stellar distribution and a lack of prominent spiral arm structures. The galaxy's overall shape is elongated, with an axis ratio of approximately 0.3, making it quite cigar-shaped. There are no obvious signs of recent major mergers or tidal disturbances. The galaxy appears to be relatively undisturbed and quiescent.
