The galaxy appears as a relatively small, elongated object with a smooth, diffuse profile. Its shape is distinctly cigar-shaped, exhibiting a high degree of elongation. The light is concentrated towards the central region, which presents as a bright, unresolved core. The color is generally bluish white, suggesting a possible younger stellar population, although this is not strongly pronounced. There is little or no visible spiral structure, and no signs of significant dust lanes or prominent star-forming regions are apparent. There might be a very slight, subtle disturbance in the galaxy's form indicating a minor interaction, but overall it appears relatively undisturbed.
