The galaxy presents as largely smooth in appearance, with a slight elongation indicating a possible ellipsoidal morphology. The light is concentrated centrally, with a gradual decline in intensity outwards, but overall the image shows a cigar shape. The galaxy's color is predominantly bluish-white in the central region, suggesting a population of younger, hotter stars. Faint disturbances may be present and there are a few faint areas of redder light on the edges.
