The galaxy appears as a relatively smooth, elongated structure with an apparent cigar shape. It exhibits a concentrated central bulge that transitions smoothly into a disk. There is no distinct spiral arm structure visible in the disk; rather, it shows a diffuse glow that fades toward the edges. The color gradient indicates a redder core, potentially indicating an older stellar population, with bluer colors extending into the disk possibly from younger stars. There is no evidence of strong tidal disturbances, or major ongoing mergers.
