The galaxy presents as a slightly elongated, cigar-shaped object. Its light is primarily a pale blue-white, with very subtle hints of a spiral structure, though poorly defined. There is no central bulge evident. The galaxy appears relatively smooth in texture, lacking significant clumpy regions or bright knots associated with intense star formation. The overall impression is that of a galaxy with minimal ongoing star formation and an older stellar population, though its blue-white color indicates a small level of star formation may still be occuring. There is no apparent sign of any major merger or tidal interaction.
