The galaxy presents a smooth, elongated morphology, suggestive of a disk galaxy viewed at a significant inclination. The central region exhibits a concentrated, brighter component, likely the bulge. There's a subtle color gradient; the central region appears more yellow/white, potentially indicating an older stellar population, while the outer edges show hints of bluer hues, suggesting more recent star formation. Overall, the galaxy appears relatively undisturbed, without obvious signs of major mergers or tidal interactions. There is a clear but minor asymmetric light distribution from the central part of the galaxy, where one side of the bulge is brighter than the other side. The elongation suggests a cigar-like appearance.
