The galaxy presents as a cigar-shaped or elongated system, likely a disk galaxy seen at a high inclination. Its light is generally smooth and diffuse, with a higher concentration towards the center, suggesting a bulge component. There is an area of redder light at one end of the galaxy, which may be a region of older stars or a dust lane obscuring bluer light behind it. The disk appears asymmetric, potentially indicating tidal interactions or recent accretion events. The overall color index is relatively red, implying an older stellar population on average, though there appear to be areas with slightly bluer light hinting at some ongoing star formation, possibly triggered by the aforementioned interaction.
