The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elongated structure, likely a disk galaxy viewed at an oblique angle. The central bulge exhibits a yellowish-white hue, suggesting an older stellar population. Progressing outwards from the bulge, there's a transition to a bluer color in the disk, indicative of ongoing star formation. The galaxy lacks a defined spiral arm structure, the distribution of light appears more amorphous and diffuse. There is no evidence of any major mergers or tidal disturbances, although some subtle asymmetries might be present in the outer disk regions. The galaxy's shape is noticeably cigar-shaped, with a length-to-width ratio suggesting a significant degree of inclination relative to the observer's line of sight.
