The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elongated structure, exhibiting a cigar-like shape. The core region demonstrates a concentrated luminosity, with a gradient towards the outer edges. The color distribution indicates a central region with a dominant white/blue hue, possibly indicative of younger, hotter stellar populations. A slight color shift towards redder hues is observed in the outer regions, which could be related to older stellar populations or dust extinction. There is no obvious spiral arm structure, ring structure, or significant dust lane features visible in the image. There appears to be only minor visual evidence of interaction or merging events.
