The galaxy presents as a relatively small, elongated, and smooth object. The light distribution appears fairly uniform, with no prominent spiral arms or a central bulge immediately obvious. The galaxy is significantly longer than it is wide, displaying a somewhat cigar-like morphology.  A slight blueish color indicates the presence of some young, hot stars, while the overall yellowish hue suggests an older stellar population dominates. There's no obvious evidence of ongoing major mergers, but a faint distortion on one edge suggests the possibility of a minor interaction or tidal disturbance. The galaxy's relatively smooth appearance indicates a small amount of star formation.
