The galaxy presents as an elongated, cigar-shaped structure, likely a disk galaxy viewed at a high inclination. It exhibits a relatively smooth appearance with a lack of distinct spiral arm features. The central bulge region is prominent and appears more concentrated, displaying a yellowish-orange hue. The outer regions of the galaxy show a bluer color, possibly indicating the presence of younger stellar populations and ongoing star formation, although the overall star formation rate seems low. The galaxy does not appear to be undergoing any major mergers or tidal disturbances, with a generally undisturbed morphology. The red shift indicates that it is a relatively nearby galaxy.
