The galaxy presents an elongated morphology, appearing cigar-shaped when observed from our vantage point. Its central region exhibits a relatively smooth distribution of light, while the outer regions appear more diffuse and less structured. There is some indication of possible disturbances in the morphology, but these appear to be relatively minor. The galaxy displays a gradient in color across its body, with an apparent shift towards redder hues in its center, possibly indicating an older stellar population there, and bluer colors in the outskirts, suggesting more recent or ongoing star formation in those regions. The overall color index is indicative of a galaxy with a substantial population of evolved stars, with moderate levels of on-going star formation.
