The galaxy presents as a moderately bright, elongated, and relatively smooth system. The light distribution suggests a central bulge that gradually fades into the outer regions. The overall color is moderately blue, indicating the presence of some young stars or recent star formation, though this activity seems relatively low. The galaxy's shape is distinctly cigar-shaped and its structure appears largely undisturbed, without obvious signs of a major merger event, although subtle disturbances cannot be ruled out. The light profile appears fairly smooth, with no readily discernible spiral arms or prominent features.
