The galaxy appears to be a relatively distant, elongated object with an apparent high degree of smoothness in its overall structure. The primary color is a somewhat yellowish, red-shifted hue, with a hint of bluer components, especially along what appear to be the edges of the disk. This color profile suggests a galaxy that has a fairly high mass in stars. It presents a cigar-like shape, indicating we are likely observing it from a significant angle relative to its galactic plane. There is no obvious evidence of strong tidal interactions or major disturbances in its morphology. The galaxy exhibits no distinct spiral arm structure, and does not seem to be undergoing any large mergers. There appears to be a very small amount of active star formation, visible in its bluer components.
