The subject galaxy presents as a lenticular or edge-on spiral with a smoothly distributed light profile. The galactic morphology is elongated, displaying a notable cigar shape indicative of significant spatial asymmetry. There is no discernable spiral arm structure. There is an indication of a faint galactic bulge. Light appears to vary with wavelength, being brightest in redder wavelengths and fainter in blue. The red hue indicates an older stellar population, suggesting relatively low ongoing star formation. The galaxy does not appear to be actively merging or undergoing major disturbances.
