The galaxy presents a primarily smooth morphology, with an elongated, cigar-shaped appearance. The central region exhibits a yellowish-white hue, suggesting an older stellar population. Progressing outwards, the galaxy transitions to a more diffuse, reddish color, potentially indicative of ongoing, but modest, star formation within its spiral arms. No distinct spiral arm structures or prominent dust lanes are readily apparent in this image, reinforcing the smooth, somewhat featureless nature of the galaxy.
