The galaxy presents as a moderately luminous object with a distinct, elongated morphology. Its shape is decidedly cigar-shaped. There is a smooth light distribution, with minimal evidence of spiral arms or discrete features. The galaxy appears to be dominated by older stellar populations giving it a redder hue, with a yellow-white central region. The faint outer edges of the galaxy fade gradually, suggesting a spheroidal structure. There are hints of recent star formation activity. There appears to be no ongoing merger events or major disturbances.
