The galaxy presents a generally smooth appearance, with a slightly elongated, but not cigar-shaped, morphology. The light distribution is concentrated towards the center, suggesting a higher stellar density in the core region. The galaxy exhibits a slight blue tint surrounding the central region, potentially indicating a population of younger, hotter stars or ongoing star formation. There also seems to be a slight disturbance in the galaxy, possibly hinting that there has been a minor merger that happened in the past. This could also mean that the galaxy is in the process of merging. Overall, the galaxy appears to be an intermediate stage between a spiral and an elliptical galaxy, and is generally well-defined.
