The galaxy presents a distinct, elongated morphology. It appears cigar-shaped, with a smooth, diffuse light distribution across its body. A pronounced color gradient is observed, transitioning from a bluer hue at one end to a redder hue at the opposite end. The red end is very distinct and much brighter than the rest of the galaxy. There is no clear evidence of spiral arms or a prominent central bulge. Subtle irregularities or minor disturbances may be present, but they are not immediately obvious given the image resolution. The overall impression is that of a relatively undisturbed, possibly lenticular or early-type spiral galaxy seen edge-on.
