The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elongated object with a cigar-like shape. It exhibits a color gradient, transitioning from a more yellow/orange hue at the center to a bluer tinge at the outer edges. There's no obvious presence of spiral arms or a central bulge. Some minor disturbances seem to be present. The light distribution suggests a centrally concentrated mass, with a gradual decrease in luminosity towards the periphery. There's little evidence of ongoing major star formation, although there may be some star formation occuring.
