The galaxy presents as an elongated, somewhat cigar-shaped object. A central bulge of concentrated light is visible, exhibiting a yellowish-white hue. Surrounding this bulge is a more diffuse disk, with subtle indications of blueish arms or regions suggesting ongoing star formation. The overall structure appears relatively smooth, with only slight evidence of any major tidal disturbances or mergers. The galaxy's disk appears to be inclined at a substantial angle relative to our line of sight.
