The galaxy presents an elongated, cigar-like morphology. It exhibits a smooth, diffuse light distribution, suggesting a largely featureless structure. The central region appears brighter and exhibits a yellowish hue, possibly indicating an older stellar population. Fainter bluish light is observed surrounding the central region and towards the outer edges, possibly indicating some regions of ongoing star formation. There appears to be a slight asymmetry in the galaxy's overall shape, with one end appearing more extended than the other. No prominent spiral arms or distinct dust lanes are readily discernible in this image. The galaxy is likely a late-type spiral galaxy or an elliptical galaxy with a disk component seen edge-on.
